Takt vs Rybbit
Rybbit is an impressive project: launched in early 2025, open source (AGPL-3), cookieless and already carried by strong community momentum (more than 10,000 GitHub stars in under a year). It offers a cloud hosted in Germany and a full self-hostable version, with session replay, web vitals and funnels. Takt, by contrast, is a proprietary product delivered as a fully managed EU service, with no maintenance, that goes further on framework wrappers, embeddable widgets, revenue tracking and openness to AI assistants. Here is an honest comparison; verify the points that matter to you.
| Takt | Rybbit | |
|---|---|---|
| Cookieless / no banner | Yes, by design | Yes, by design |
| GDPR-compliant, EU data | Yes, EU-managed service | Yes, cloud hosted in Germany |
| No server to maintain | Yes, fully managed service | Yes on cloud; no when self-hosted (server + database to administer) |
| Official per-framework wrappers | React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, Angular, Astro + PHP (Laravel, Symfony, WordPress) | Script + a few integrations |
| Embeddable widgets | Embeddable badge & public boards | Shareable dashboard |
| Revenue / e-commerce tracking | Yes (value events + WooCommerce S2S) | Goals & custom events |
| Funnels & goals | Yes | Yes |
| Session replay & web vitals | No (focused on audience measurement) | Yes |
| Open to AI assistants (llms.txt, MCP) | Yes (llms.txt + MCP server) | Not documented |
| Open source | No (proprietary product) | Yes (AGPL-3) |
| Data hosting | Managed service, in the EU | Cloud (Germany) or self-hosting |
| Maturity & community | Young, growing | Very recent (2025), strong momentum |
Rybbit is an excellent project on a strong rise: if open source, self-hosting, session replay or web vitals are decisive for you, it is a very relevant choice. If you prefer a managed European service with no maintenance, a broader integration ecosystem (framework wrappers, embeddable widgets, revenue tracking) and openness to AI assistants (llms.txt, MCP), Takt is the direct alternative.
