Watch out for

Clerion It is built for site-wide traffic and growth questions. If you need programmatic event pipelines for a complex product funnel, a dedicated product-analytics tool fits better.

Plausible It reports deliberately, not interpretively. You still read the charts and draw the conclusions yourself.

A dashboard still leaves the analysis to you

Plausible gives accurate, cookie-free numbers on one tidy page. It stops at the numbers. You still have to notice a page slipping, work out why and decide what to do. Clerion keeps the same privacy stance and writes that part for you.

When Plausible is the right tool

If you want a beautiful, fast, private count of your traffic and are happy to read it yourself, Plausible is a great choice. Clerion fits when you would rather read a written answer than a chart.
