Some yes, some not. Im using https://umami.is/ that is free (but I’m hosting it DigitalOcean VPS for few $/month). Better than pay a fine for using Google Analytics.

If there is some value in analytics, then paying for it shouldn’t be a problem. If the amount you are willing to pay is zero, then the value is so low that collecting the data probably doesn’t make any sense.

And for those that don't want to dive in to VPS/Dedis there are services like PikaPods[1] that spin up services for a good price. I've been running a Matomo instance for a couple months and didn't have to do any backend command line stuff
On some apps they also give a percentage back to the developer so you'd be supporting them.

Here is a good list of European alternatives to Google Analytics. The products with free plans are marked as such in case you are specifically looking for them: https://european-alternatives.eu/alternative-to/google-analy...
There are also some that are open source and can be self-hosted. Those are marked with an "open source" flag.
