Aptabase

About Aptabase

Aptabase is an analytics service for mobile, desktop, and web applications, positioned as an open-source alternative to Google Firebase Analytics. It tracks sessions and events without device identifiers, cookies, or fingerprinting, and does not link data to identifiable individuals; data is described as fully anonymized rather than pseudonymized. Users can choose EU or US data residency, self-host the service, and export collected data as CSV.

The product provides a real-time dashboard for viewing app usage as it happens, including a live view, session timeline, and mobile-first dashboard interface. Event tracking allows developers to measure app-specific actions such as button clicks, feature usage, and configuration changes, with automatic detection of debug versus release builds to separate test data from production data.

Aptabase offers SDKs for platforms including Tauri, Apple/Swift, Android/Kotlin, Electron, React Native, Flutter, .NET MAUI, Unreal Engine, Unity, and NativeScript. It targets application developers who want usage analytics while complying with privacy regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and PECR. The service is paid rather than free, with an unlimited-apps plan tier that includes the dashboard, live view, session timeline, CSV export, and data ownership guarantees; specific pricing tiers and event-volume thresholds are not stated.
