Show HN: I built berrylog.app after getting burned by every analytics tool

The very first thing I do when starting a new project is add analytics. I want to know if anyone is actually using it and how.

The worst part about most analytics platforms is that even their free plans come with strings attached. Limited to just a few thousand events per month, or worse, your data gets wiped after 30 days. That’s useless if you care about long-term growth. Paid plans weren’t much better either because of capped projects, limited retention, and costs that quickly ballooned if you’re tracking multiple side projects.

I figured there had to be a better way, so I built my own. I wanted something where I didn’t pay per site and where I truly owned my data.

That’s how https://berrylog.app was born.

The idea is simple: you bring your own database (for now Berrylog supports Supabase). Every log, every event, every pageview from all your projects is stored directly in your Supabase database. You’re the sole owner of your data. That means unlimited, historical analytics across all your projects with no recurring fee just to access what’s already yours.

At first, I built it just for myself because I was tired of overspending on something so essential. But after using it for a while, I realized this isn’t just my problem, it’s something every indie hacker runs into.

So I’m opening it up to the community. Berrylog.app is an analytics platform built with indie hackers in mind: one-time payment, unlimited websites, unlimited events. No subscriptions, no artificial limits.

I’d love for you to give it a try and let me know what you think.

berrylog.app: "Free Plan - $0 - Perfect for personal projects - Up to 5,000 events/month"

Totally fair callout, let me clarify. Berrylog does have a free plan with a 5,000 event cap. The difference (and the reason I criticized other tools) is that they don’t just cap usage. They also delete your data, restrict retention, and then lock you into paying a subscription forever.

With Berrylog, all your events (even on the free tier) go straight into your own database. Nothing ever gets wiped. You always own 100% of your history. The free tier is just a way to let people test things out and cover some infra costs. Once you upgrade, it’s a one-time fee for unlimited projects/events forever.

I just wish you wouldn't write all your texts with an LLM
