Holistics vs Plausible Analytics: at a glance
What is Holistics?
Holistics lets admins put a key dashboard on everyone's Home page.
Holistics is shipping weekly changes on both the modeling and consumption sides of its BI product. Recent modeling work added Data Lineage in the IDE, two-way conversion between AML and Apache Ossie, and branches in place of the Production/Development switch. For viewers it added field descriptions on hover, in-dashboard trend and reference lines, and now an admin-configurable Home with a full-view dashboard and pinned shortcuts.
What is Plausible Analytics?
Plausible's tracked feed stops at a Dec 2025 pre-release that limits shared links to a segment.
The release feed SparkPulse tracks for Plausible Analytics only holds Community Edition pre-releases, and the newest is v3.2.0-rc.0 from December 2025. That build shows a visitor-percentage breakdown on every report and lets shared links be limited to one segment. v3.1.0-rc.0 before it introduced a per-site dynamic tracking script, an optional non-interactive flag for events, and a reworked dark theme.

Holistics lets admins put a key dashboard on everyone's Home page.
◆ Current state
Holistics is shipping weekly changes on both the modeling and consumption sides of its BI product. Recent modeling work added Data Lineage in the IDE, two-way conversion between AML and Apache Ossie, and branches in place of the Production/Development switch. For viewers it added field descriptions on hover, in-dashboard trend and reference lines, and now an admin-configurable Home with a full-view dashboard and pinned shortcuts.
◆ Where it's heading
The release stream keeps putting analysis and context where business users already are, on dashboards and Home, rather than sending them into Explore. Modeling changes meanwhile make the semantic layer more portable and more like a code workflow.
◆ Prediction
Expect further admin-level controls over what viewers see first, and more semantic-layer metadata surfaced on dashboards.
Plausible Analytics
0.0ANALYTICS
Plausible's tracked feed stops at a Dec 2025 pre-release that limits shared links to a segment.
◆ Current state
The release feed SparkPulse tracks for Plausible Analytics only holds Community Edition pre-releases, and the newest is v3.2.0-rc.0 from December 2025. That build shows a visitor-percentage breakdown on every report and lets shared links be limited to one segment. v3.1.0-rc.0 before it introduced a per-site dynamic tracking script, an optional non-interactive flag for events, and a reworked dark theme.
◆ Where it's heading
Across the 3.x line Plausible has been adding analysis depth to a deliberately simple dashboard: exit-rate sorting, new date shorthands, segments, and percentage breakdowns. Shared links and segments are being tied together, so a public or client-facing view can show a slice of the data. Self-hosters need to follow upgrade steps, including a required ClickHouse upgrade in 3.0.
◆ Prediction
The feed has nothing after December 2025, so it is unclear whether v3.2.0 went stable. If the tracked source updates, the next visible step is probably a v3.2.0 final with more segment and shared-link controls.
