Aptabase

Aptabase is an open-source alternative to Google Firebase Analytics for mobile and desktop applications. It provides real-time event tracking and a dashboard for viewing app usage, with SDKs for platforms and frameworks including Swift, Kotlin, Flutter, React Native, Electron, Unity, and web apps. The service focuses on anonymous analytics: it says it does not use device identifiers, cookies, fingerprinting, or long-term user identification. Users can choose EU or US data residency or self-host, and can export their data. A free plan covers up to 20,000 events per month, with paid plans priced by monthly event volume.

Aptabase is an open-source analytics service for mobile and desktop applications, presented as an alternative to Google Firebase Analytics. It lets developers measure events in their apps and view the results in a dashboard in real time. Its analytics are designed to be anonymous: Aptabase says it does not use device identifiers, cookies, fingerprinting, or long-term user identification. The service addresses privacy and compliance concerns while giving developers visibility into app activity. Developers add an Aptabase SDK for their app’s platform and decide which events to send; events are not tracked automatically. Each call to the SDK’s track function counts as one event. Data appears in the built-in dashboard in real time, with a live view and session timeline, and can be exported to CSV. Users choose EU or US data residency, or can host their own servers. Debug mode is detected automatically so experiments do not affect production data. Aptabase is for developers building mobile and desktop applications, with SDKs for platforms and frameworks including Swift, Kotlin, Flutter, React Native, Electron, Unity, and web apps. The page emphasizes anonymous analytics, open-source code, and data ownership, and says users can choose EU or US hosting or self-host. Because it does not use unique user identifiers, it does not support user-level metrics such as Monthly Active Users or user retention.
