I am currently working on exactly this! I have always been dreaming of a low-cost, zero-effort web analytics.

So far I have made an open source library/service, I've been using it for my blog and a few other sites for over two months. It is available at https://github.com/nullitics/nullitics. You can see the example dashboard (fed with real data) at https://nullitics.com/dashboard/zserge.com. I'm now collecting all sorts of feedback from the early adoperts.

For the cloud version I decided to go with 1€/month, and I have often been criticised for choosing such a low price. However, I believe that I would rather be at a lower profit, but help bloggers, hackers and other who want such a tool.



Hey it's nice you're offering this!

I'd just be careful with ultra-low prices, specially if you plan on having backups and multiple months/years of data retention.

Infrastructure costs alone can add up really fast, and don't underestimate how many hours of support a single customer might require.

Just friendly advice :)
