Plausible Analytics vs reOS

Plausible is a simple, privacy-first web analytics tool that is cookie-free and GDPR-compliant, with a script far lighter than Google Analytics. It is open source and can be self-hosted.

reOS is a customer research operating system designed to keep research alive after the report is delivered. It supports the full research lifecycle: planning studies, recruiting participants, conducting interviews, analyzing feedback across multiple channels, and tracing every insight back to its original source. Instead of letting findings die in slide decks, reOS turns insights into tracked initiatives so teams can ship changes, notify the customers who requested them, and launch follow-up studies. At the core of the platform is DIVE, a human-led AI analysis pipeline that decodes raw data into structured observations, improves and deduplicates findings, validates every claim against its source, and enriches insights with context from other research. Every step is benchmarked against hand-coded ground truth, and the best-performing model is selected automatically for each task. This approach gives research teams the speed of AI without the black-box uncertainty, because every insight is clickable and lands on the exact interview second or support ticket line where it originated. reOS is built for teams that take customer research seriously. It replaces the typical five-tool stack with one system for recruiting, scheduling, interviewing, testing, transcription, analysis, repository, and reporting, while also connecting to support apps, email, forms, and existing datasets. Pricing is unit-based: one unit equals one fully analyzed interview, starting at $59 per month, with enterprise options for white-label domains, optional PII redaction, SAML SSO, SCIM, and dedicated support. The platform is SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, and GDPR compliant, with EU or US hosting and a guarantee that customer research is never used for training.
