Astrolytics vs Plausible

What are the similarities and differences between Astrolytics and Plausible?

Plausible is an analytics tool for websites that markets itself as Google analytics alternative. It is a great solution for websites that are looking to track the most basic metrics, like pageviews, visitors, top sources and conversion metrics. It is also very lightweight (<1kb script) and privacy friendly.

But we think it lacks product analytics features. Here's a side by side comparison:
