Why we do this
OpenPanel is built by and for the open source community. We believe in giving back.
We started OpenPanel because we believed analytics tools shouldn't be complicated or locked behind expensive enterprise subscriptions. As an open source project ourselves, we understand the challenges of building and growing a project without the resources of big corporations.
Built for OSS
OpenPanel is open source. We know what it's like to build in the open.
No Barriers
Analytics shouldn't be a barrier to understanding your users. We're removing that barrier.
Giving Back
We're giving back to the projects that inspire us and the community that supports us.
What we ask in return
We keep it simple. Just a small way to help us grow and support more projects.
Backlink to OpenPanel
A simple link on your website or README helps others discover OpenPanel. It's a win-win for the community.
Example: "Analytics powered by OpenPanel"
Display a Widget
Showcase your visitor count with our real-time analytics widget. It's completely optional but helps spread the word.
That's it. No complicated requirements, no hidden fees, no catch. We just want to help open source projects succeed.
