The short answer
All four products avoid the advertising model of traditional analytics. The best choice depends on how strict your privacy model is and whether reporting is the end of the job.
Best mature simple analytics
Choose it for a polished open-source product, daily visitor estimates, goals, funnels, revenue, and Search Console.
Best broad open-source analytics
Choose it when self-hosting and deeper product analytics, journeys, retention, and replay matter most.
Best strict no-identifier model
Choose it when legal review favors a hosted product that does not create visitor identifiers.
