... what are you using? I know there's a bunch of alternatives, but what do YOU use? And if you don't mind sharing, can you let me know the reason why you're not using Google Analytics?

I have google analytics on my blog with Sitekit plugin. Not sure if that is the best but that is what I have right now till i find a better way.
 
I use Google Analytics, but it's not accurate. If you have an ad blocker, script blocker, or you disabled third party cookies, it won't detect you.
For organic visitors, Google Search Console (previously called Google Webmasters Tools) is better.
 
Some of the alternatives to Google Analytics

Mixpanel
Matomo (formerly Piwik)
Piwik PRO
Adobe Analytics
Plausible
Fathom
GoSquared
 
Another user of stat counter here. Nothing beats their one-stop small font page for checking your sites in one go.
 
Only good alternative I can think about is statcounter. Their paid plans are very handy.
 
There is no free tool that can match the quality and effectiveness of google analytics.

Isnt that the case with every possible tool? If the visitor is blocking trackers and cookies he is practically invisible for these monitoring tools and that hardly can be avoided.

Yes, but I like Google Search Console because it's not a script and it also detects these users (of course, only organic ones).
 
I use Analytics but in the past I paired with Yandex metrica
 
Matomo, formerly Piwik.
The dashboard is much clearer, simpler, cleaner.
Incidentally, it's the only software that is "recommended" by the government authority that watches the application of the GDRP in my country. Moreover, the sites where I use Matomo have no advertising, it's only participative financing and my members are very fussy about personal data.
I knew that by using Matomo, I would have no problem with legality.​
 
I use both statcounter and Google analytics. Statcounter is easier to use though and GA is too darn complicated. I my busy schedule i don't have anytime to watch a tutorial.
 
I use it actually, but just to get some general insights, it's not that accurate as it doesn't show traffic from users that use some ad blockers. Statcounter is also a good tool and it gives you more precise data.
 
+1 For Statcounter, But after 500 visits you need to pay them.
