|---|---|---|
| 100k events a month | $29, every feature | $19 to $39 by plan |
| Sites | Unlimited | 1, 3 or 10 by plan |
| Funnels and revenue | Every plan | Business plan |

Gaps
Plausible is well made.Its plans hold features back.
Three limits show up once a site sells or a second site launches. Each one comes from Plausible's own pricing page.
- 01
Funnels and revenue need Business
Funnels, revenue attribution, custom properties and the Stats API start on Business: $39 a month at 100k pageviews.
- 02
Ten sites, then Enterprise
Starter covers one site, Growth three and Business ten. Business carried 50 sites until June 2025.
- 03
Managed proxy on Enterprise only
Plausible's guides show how to build a proxy yourself on any plan. The managed one needs an Enterprise quote.

- Month 1
Build on it, then cancel
Set up funnels and saved reports, then cancel Plausible. Your imported history stays.
Custom properties stay in Plausible. The import brings visitors, pages, sources, locations, devices and goals.
Can I import my Plausible data?
Yes. Export your site from Plausible as a ZIP of CSV files and upload it in site settings. Days Highseat already tracks are skipped, so nothing counts twice. Custom properties are not imported.
Is Highseat cookieless like Plausible?
Yes. The script sets no cookies and honours Global Privacy Control. Visitors are counted with a hash that rotates every day.
Do I need a higher plan for funnels or revenue?
No. Every plan has every feature. A plan is a monthly event allowance and nothing else.
How do events compare with Plausible pageviews?
Both count one pageview or one custom event as one unit, so your Plausible volume maps to the same Highseat tier.
Can I keep Plausible running while I test?
Yes. Both scripts can run on the same page, so you can compare a week of numbers before you cancel.
What happens after the 14-day trial?
Pick a plan to keep going. Without one, collection runs for 14 more days and stops, and your sites are deleted after 60 days.
