What is Aptabase?

Aptabase is made for apps rather than websites. SDKs exist for Swift, Kotlin, React Native, Flutter, Electron, Tauri and many other frameworks, and they collect only anonymous usage events, without device identifiers, so you can see sessions, versions, platforms and custom events. The dashboard stays simple, and data can be stored in the EU or US on the hosted service, or on your own servers with PostgreSQL and ClickHouse.

Good fit if

  • You build a desktop or mobile app and want usage stats without invasive tracking.
  • You want an alternative to Firebase Analytics.

Look elsewhere if
