The best analytics for React apps in 2026
TL;DR: The best analytics for React in 2026 is Reignat when you want SPA-aware pageviews plus room to grow into funnels and revenue. Plausible and Umami keep things minimal. Fathom fits multi-app portfolios.
React Router and SPA navigations never hit the server. Your tracker must observe history changes. Reignat does that out of the box — see the React installation guide.
Check the meter before the price
Two tools can both say "$9 a month" and mean different things. Some meter pageviews (one page load). Others meter events (a pageview or anything you tag — signup, purchase, click). If you only look at pages, a pageview meter stretches further; if you tag conversions, compare event meters honestly. Reignat meters events. Read the meter line on every plan before the dollar amount.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best analytics for React?
Reignat for most React marketing sites and apps: automatic history-based pageviews, cookieless by default, plus funnels and revenue when you need them. Plausible and Umami are strong minimal picks.
Do I need a React-specific SDK?
Usually no. A script that listens to history.pushState covers client-side navigations. See the Reignat React install guide.
How is this different from product analytics like PostHog?
Product analytics tools go deep on in-app behavior. Reignat focuses on web analytics — traffic, journeys, revenue, performance — without GA complexity. Some teams run both.
