A free alternative to chess.com Insights
Both look across many of your games instead of one at a time. chess.com Insights comes with the Diamond membership and reads your chess.com games. Plysight is free, needs no account, and reads your last 200 games from chess.com, Lichess or a PGN file.

Which fits you
If you already pay for Diamond and play only on chess.com, Insights is right there. If you don't, or you play on Lichess too, Plysight gives you the many-game view for free.
