## Frequently Asked Questions about Analytics

### What analytics tools should early-stage startups use?

 Early-stage startups should focus on understanding user behavior and conversion funnels. PostHog, Plausible, and Mixpanel are popular choices. Browse this category for indie-made analytics tools that often offer better privacy, simpler pricing, and GDPR compliance than legacy tools. 

### What is the difference between product analytics and web analytics?

 Web analytics tracks page views and traffic sources. Product analytics tracks user behavior inside your app — feature usage, funnels, and retention. Most startups need both, but product analytics is more valuable for SaaS companies focused on reducing churn and improving activation. 

### Are there privacy-friendly analytics tools for startups?

 Yes — privacy-first analytics tools are a growing category. Many products here offer cookie-free tracking, GDPR compliance by default, and data stored in your own infrastructure. Browse this category for indie-made privacy-friendly analytics alternatives. 

### Looking for a place to launch your Analytics product?
