    Google Analytics

    Score7.9 out of 10
    		N/AGoogle Analytics is perhaps the best-known web analytics product and, as a free product, it has massive adoption. Although it lacks some enterprise-level features compared to its competitors in the space, the launch of the paid Google Analytics Premium edition seems likely to close the gap.

    Honestly, I don't think any other options really stack up at all but these have a few great features...
    Matomo - planned integrations with Google Ads, Bing Ads, and Facebook Ads.

    Chose GoSquared
    Google Analytics is massively bloated and can be difficult to configure, navigate and understand. While GoSquared doesn't provide the feature set that Google Analytics does it focuses on providing the best experience for the features it does offer. If you just want to know who …
    James Billingham
    CTO (Chief Technical Officer) in Research & Development at SenseLabs (Sports, 1-10 employees)
    Chose GoSquared
    For simplicity & real-time data, GoSquared beats Google Analytics easily. However, for more complex analytics requirements, GoSquared simply doesn't support the vast array of reporting abilities which Google Analytics affords.

    Chose GoSquared
    GoSquared acts as an end-to-end tool taking care of most of the needs of the organizations unlike most of the competitors. Even while covering a vast scenario, GoSquared handles all the tasks pretty well.

    Chose GoSquared
    GoSquared is easier and more intuitive to use, also less advanced but it offers enough functionality for most websites. It can be used in conjunction with more advanced tools.
    Bailey Bliss
    Owner in Marketing at Square 2 Marketing (Consumer Goods, 1-10 employees)
    Chose GoSquared
    I use GoSquared in tandem with Google Analytics on my site since I don't need an all-in-one marketing software for this site. I love the clean, easy-to-read reports that I receive from GoSquared on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. The graphs are easy to interpret and it pulls the …
    Draco Li
    Engineer in Engineering at Playdots, Inc (Entertainment, 1-10 employees)
    Chose GoSquared
    For realtime analytics, GoSquare is my go to pick since it does it really well and is very simple to use. The dashboard is also really great to show the team analytics of our website at a glance.

    Chose GoSquared
    As I said previously, I rather pay for a superb product than use a good free product. I think GoSquared beats Google Analytics on user-friendliness, usability, and UX. The team seems to not stand still and is always innovating, which I value, too.
