Google Analytics 4 was frustrating, so we built our own analytics service | May 2023
Not sure how it compares, I set up self hosted matomo (originally named piwik) and it's been running without issue since 2013 or so. https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo. Only useful if what you're running is on php. Probably would've picked a different stack today.

Yes. There are a number of powerful self-hostable open-source website analytics solutions, for example https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo.
Ask HN: Alternatives to Google Analytics in 2023 | Jan 2023
here are some for you to consider:

https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo

https://github.com/plausible/analytics

https://github.com/arp242/goatcounter

All 3 of them open source and you can host yourself. If you don't want to self host all 3 have options for you.

I am currently self hosting Matomo and am happy with it.

Fun timing for you to ask as just running a poll to see what others are using:

Techdirt Is Now Without Any Google Ads or Tracking Code | Jul 2021
Is anyone here familiar with Matomo? I noticed the linked page attempts to run it before seeing it mentioned, because Ghostery blocked it.

It's a “Free software alternative to Google Analytics” “which can easily be configured to respect your visitors' privacy”[0] (emphasis mine). But can it be configured in a way so you can claim “without any tracking code”? I wonder whether the claim in the headline was supposed to be merely “no third-party tracking”. [Edited to add:] Waiiit a moment, is the intended meaning simply “no Google tracking code”? (I don't think the article addresses this anywhere; hope I didn't just miss something.)

Or maybe I'm supposed to know that “no tracking” is jargon for something like ”attempts to not store PII” in this industry? I doubt that it can be configured such that, for example, unique visitors are statistically estimated instead of counting unique IDs from tracking cookies — but I'm too lazy to research that in detail, so it would be interesting to hear from someone who knows more.
