I have been considering giving up Google Analytics for my websites too, but the thing that stops me is that GA integrates really well with Google search engine, providing detailed info about which keywords were used to find your site.

Do other analytics services also provide this feature? If so, I'm curious of how the manage to do it without being integrated with Google.

Matomo (ex Piwik) does have an "importer" for search keywords (from GA and Bing and maybe something else) but it's not free: https://plugins.matomo.org/SearchEngineKeywordsPerformance

It uses the APIs of the search engines to download/import the search keywords.

Yeah, Plausible has a Google Search Console integration so you can see all the keyword queries people find your site with directly in the Plausible dashboard.
