Applausible is an option with public iPhone, iPad and Android listings. Arbory focuses on compatible iPhones, with alerts and iOS integrations. Tracksible advertises a one-site free tier with insights and goals, plus Pro widgets, but its current public download destination needs confirmation. Start with the device you use, then check which features require payment.
This guide compares three selected Plausible Analytics companion apps. These are tools for viewing an existing dashboard on a phone, not SDKs for collecting events inside a mobile app. They do not replace Plausible Analytics or include a separate Plausible service plan in their purchase price.
Webjuice makes Tracksible. The comparison below is based on official product pages and store listings, not hands-on testing or an exhaustive survey of every companion app.
Pick by device and daily task
- You need an iPad app or iCloud domain sync: Applausible explicitly advertises both for its Apple app.
- You want traffic alerts on a compatible iPhone: Arbory advertises spike/drop alerts and daily summaries with Pro. Its current listing requires iOS 26 or later.
- You want to evaluate a one-site free tier: Tracksible includes insights and goal conversions without a Pro purchase; home screen widgets require Pro. Verify the current release and availability before relying on that offer.
- You use Android: Applausible has a public Google Play listing. Tracksible’s website leads with Android, but the linked listing was not verified during this review. Arbory’s product site points readers to its Apple listing.
Avoid choosing from screenshots alone. An iPhone frame on a product page does not establish that the app is publicly available for iOS.

Sources checked on 12 September 2026: Tracksible pricing, Applausible for iOS, Applausible for Android, Arbory’s website and US iOS listing. Not verified means the source review did not establish the capability; it is not a negative feature verdict.
Tracksible: an advertised free tier for one site
Tracksible’s pricing page describes one website with Realtime, Today, Yesterday and Last 7 Days. Free includes live visitors, traffic charts, pages, sources, audience breakdowns, goals and insights. Pro adds unlimited websites, longer or custom date ranges, and home screen widgets.
That offer is relevant to a blogger, independent developer or business owner checking one dashboard. The question is whether recent data and those core views cover the decisions you make. If you manage several sites or regularly compare months, inspect the Pro offer instead.
Tracksible also advertises a share-link connection alongside Stats API keys. That can suit readers who receive dashboard access from a client or teammate. Supported metrics may depend on the Plausible plan, permissions, server version and connection type.
The current limitation in this review is release verification. The site says iOS is coming soon, and we could not verify the linked Android destination. Read current availability and confirm a working store listing before choosing it. The website’s advertised $9.99 USD price is not a verified checkout price.
Applausible: iPhone, iPad and Android options
Applausible’s public listings describe live and historical traffic, pages, sources, locations, conversions, widgets and insights. Its iOS listing adds an iPad-focused layout, iCloud domain synchronization and filtering by country, source, page and goal.
Those are practical reasons to shortlist it when you move between Apple devices or want to inspect filtered traffic rather than just glance at a total. Its Apple listing requires iOS or iPadOS 17 or later. Android has its own public listing; iCloud behavior should not be assumed to work across platforms.
The US iOS purchase list shows $0.99 monthly, $9.99 yearly and $12.99 lifetime. Both subscription and one-time options are advertised. Its current descriptions promote a three-day trial, while older iOS release notes refer to free basic access with ads. The current permanent free limits remain unresolved in this source review.

Arbory: alerts and native iPhone integrations
Arbory offers a free one-site dashboard with today and last-seven-days views on its homepage. Pro adds widgets, longer dates, unlimited sites, goals and events, and traffic alerts. Its App Store description also advertises daily summaries, offline cached access and Face ID or Touch ID protection.
Its native integrations extend to Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight and Control Center. The release notes qualify those features: Siri summaries use a saved on-device snapshot, not a new live request to Plausible. If recency matters, distinguish that saved summary from the open dashboard’s current data.
Arbory’s current US listing requires iOS 26 or later. It lists Pro at $12.99, while its homepage advertises $14.99 and its description mentions €14.99. Check your actual storefront rather than comparing these as if they were the same offer.
Arbory may be worth its paid tier when notifications and iPhone integrations are central to your routine. Read Arbory vs Tracksible for the free-feature and device tradeoffs.
How to compare the apps fairly
Start with access to your dashboard
All three advertise Plausible Cloud and self-hosted support. That broad statement does not guarantee that every server version, permission level or connection method exposes identical metrics. Confirm that your credentials and server work with the app you choose.
Tracksible advertises API-key and share-link connections; Arbory’s listing requires an API key; Applausible’s iOS release notes document API-key settings. This review has not established share-link support in the other two. Do not share account credentials simply to avoid checking supported connection methods.
Match dates before comparing numbers
Use the same domain, timezone, date range and filters. A difference between a widget and an open dashboard may be a refresh-timing difference rather than a calculation error. Operating systems control background widget updates.
Check a workflow you can recognize: today’s visitors, the source of a recent referral, or a configured goal. Do not infer speed, accuracy or reliability from promotional screenshots; those require hands-on testing.
Buy the feature set, not the payment slogan
All three advertise a one-time option. “No subscription” does not separate Tracksible from this group. Free limits, device fit and paid features are more useful distinctions.
Store prices vary. Applausible’s listed iOS amounts do not establish its Android prices, and Tracksible’s website price is not a checkout observation. Buying a companion does not replace Plausible’s own service fees. Tracksible also states that purchases do not automatically transfer between Apple and Google stores.
Switching viewers is not moving analytics providers
A companion connects to a dashboard already collecting data. Choosing another viewer does not, by itself, require changing the website’s analytics script. Check saved domains, preferences and purchase entitlements separately; this guide does not establish an automated migration between apps.
Where to go next
If you have narrowed your choice to two apps, use the detailed Applausible comparison or Arbory comparison. They explain where the published offers differ and where the evidence is still incomplete.
To evaluate Tracksible, start with its features, free and Pro terms and connection instructions. Confirm current availability before planning a switch.
