Also searched as Dealfront (Leadfeeder) vs Plausible + your own enrichment — same comparison, one verdict.
Plausible + your own enrichment
The honest self-hosted answer: analytics you own, identification you do not.
There is no open-source visitor-identification tool, and the reason is structural rather than incidental — the product is an IP-to-company database maintained commercially, not an algorithm anyone can reimplement. What you can own is the analytics layer underneath. Plausible is AGPL-3.0, self-hostable, cookieless and GDPR-friendly, and it will tell you what people did on your site without sending any of it to a third party. Pair it with manual enrichment on the accounts that matter and you have most of the value with none of the privacy exposure. Listed to be straight about where the line is: this is the only entry on the page you can actually run yourself, and it deliberately does less.
Dealfront (Leadfeeder)
The European option, built around GDPR rather than apologising for it.
Dealfront is the merger of Leadfeeder and Echobot, and its distinguishing feature is jurisdiction: it is a European company with European data handling, built for GDPR from the start rather than retrofitted. For a company selling into Europe — or one whose legal team has already asked hard questions about this category — that is frequently the deciding factor rather than a nice-to-have. It identifies companies rather than individuals, integrates with the major CRMs, and its European company data is the deepest here. Company-level only, which is both the privacy story and the functional limit.
