Considered Both Products
GoSquared
Chose GoSquared
GoSquared suited us much better than the two alternatives that we evaluated. We were already an Intercom user but GoSqured suited our requirements much better. The look and feel of the product is a subjective topic but I personally felt that GS does a better job here. Also, I …
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.
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 …
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
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 …
Chose GoSquared
I have evaluated other products but as GoSquared is presenting Live Data this really is most useful, I don't have much of a requirement to see what a potential customer did yesterday. I need to know what my potential customer sitting on the website right now is looking to …
Chose GoSquared
  • Gaug.es - Easy to read data, but pretty limited information.
  • Chartbeat - Too expensive for the number of websites we needed to track.
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.
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
It is easy, fast and real time. GoSquared does not need a rocket scientist to operate and understand. It shows what is happening on your sites now.
Chose GoSquared
I have used several analytics packages, including Clicky, Piwik and of course, Google Analytics. At the time when I used GoSquared, it had some unique features, but now the others have closed the gap in functionality, especially in allowing users to create widget based …
Serpstat
Chose Serpstat
Serpstat in comparison to a lot of the SEO tools (analysis, testing, tracking, reports, etc.) is a great all in one tool that delivers useful information and is regularly updated. In many cases Serpstat blows the competition away, or works well in unison with the competition. I …
Chose Serpstat
I selected Serpstat because it offered a lot of things like SEMRush but for half the money and it offered more than Ubersuggest had been offering. I also loved the support service I received from Serpstat. They get back to you quickly and have answers to your questions. They …
Chose Serpstat
Serpstat is a great SEO reporting tool on its own that I primarily use for reporting and as an additional reference. The other tools that I use are also good but serve a different purpose. For example, Squirrly and Yoast are WordPress plugins for easy adjustments of onsite …
Chose Serpstat
Serpstat is a full-service SEO tool with PPC features. Includes on-page and off-page technical elements. Not many tools focus on all features. Most focus on specific niches. Serpstat features all aspects of marketing. Organic and PPC ads. It's very feature-rich.
Chose Serpstat
Moz and Ahrefs are each behemoth in their own right and are certainly two of the top SEO tool companies in the market. While they may outperform Serpstat as far as data goes, Serpstat does offer a lot of features and functionality at a fraction of the price. I would love to …
Chose Serpstat
Serpstat is what I would consider a poor man's SEMRush. Although Serpstat is still a great tool, I feel like it's data (especially in competitive research, and PPC research) isn't as accurate or in-depth as SEMRush. Serpstat is much cheaper which makes it a worthwhile tool for …
Chose Serpstat
We chose Serpstat over other SEO tools because of its an all-in-one toolset as well as having a clean, easy to use UI. The price point was also a deciding factor since we were able to do the majority of our SEO research using a single tool with a single monthly subscription.
Chose Serpstat
Compared to the expensive SEMRush, Serpstat is definitely worth the price of $15-$20/month. I'm able to perform nearly all the keyword research and pull similar data that I'm able to as SEMRush without paying a $100/month for it. Serpstat also delivers extremely relevant …
Chose Serpstat
Serpstat is much cheaper than other SEO tools & just as good. It's the ideal tool for someone who needs more than the free SEO tool, but cannot afford Moz, etc. Any business that does content marketing needs a tool like this, and Serpstat is perfect for small businesses because …
Chose Serpstat
Serpstat is right there with the best SEO tools right now. Their support is great and they're very enthusiastic with new features added every month. While their link index and the number of websites they crawl every month is not as good as Ahrefs or improved Moz, it easily …
Chose Serpstat
Serpstat is up there with the list of industry products, but fails to outshine them. All of the industry tools do the same thing, but each tool has their own features and differentiation that set them apart from one another. Serpstat seems to be the simple or generic version, …
Chose Serpstat
I have used Google analytics and found it to be good, but limiting. Serpstat does have a much more transparent way to identify, and examine the wealth of SEO links that my sites have. I've tried a few other free programs online for tracking ranks and I looked into other paid …

It works best for real time customer relations and monitoring. For historic data use it with another tool. Other than that it is an amazingly easy to use, and to set up tool. Once you start using it, you will never go back.

Recently switching domains provided a lot of headaches for our marketing team. However, with Serpstat we were able to locate all our broken links and contact all the editors to be able to update our link. This alone took us from a DR of 25 to 34. Another practical use was for researching keyword volume for our on-page SEO - title tags and meta descriptions. With Serpstat we were able to determine keywords were worthy of us using in these values.

Pros
  • Support - These guys are super quick at getting back to you when you need help and always friendly
  • Live stats - GoSquared is addictive, it offers detailed information about visitors to your pages in realtime, you'll be watching the dashboard for hours!
  • Ease of use - From the guided setup to the usability of the dashboard GoSquared is really straightforward

  • Keyword data provided for multiple sites: this is a standard feature in lots of SEO toolsets. It's not the worst, but not the best.
  • Backlink data: the link data is ok, but suffers from the same issue as the keyword data. If you pay for 100 results per report, expect ONLY 100.
  • Rank tracking: the rank tracking is also standard. It does a good job of benchmarking progress.

Cons
  • CloudFlare integration is spotty - stats in Cloudflare (tracks also Javascript off visits) and GoSquared stats are often significantly at odds
  • Notifications don't seem to work very well
  • Dashboard likes to re-set itself even when it was arranged & saved previously
  • Weekly/ Monthly/ Yearly absolute numbers
Read full review
  • The daily query limit is sometimes frustrating.
  • For a new person the menu system could be a bit confusing along with terminology, it would be great if there was little help icons next to each selection to help you better understand what they do.

Not only does the GoSquared application work well, the GoSquared team is constantly making improvements. When I first started using GoSquared, they only offered daily reporting -- now they offer the weekly and monthly feature per popular request. I like that they are always updating the look and feel of the website and emails they send to maintain a modern look. GoSquared is easy to implement and easy to use!

Usability
GoSquared makes it easy to get started, providing everything you need to integrate the code into your site and start seeing and analyzing data
Read full review
Serpstat is great to use on the desktop. Being able to get around the site is easy, and using tools such as rank tracking and filtering are intuitive if you’ve used other SEO software. However, their app is not mobile friendly. I do a lot of my work on mobile when traveling or when dad’ing, and it would be much appreciated for the the app to have better mobile UI functionality. I know I’m dreaming, but other SEO software I use is able to accomplish this.
Things like filtering and how powerful it is are not aa easy to understand until you watch some tutorial videos. I think making this feature more intuitive would also help the sites early on adoption from new users.

Support Rating
The GoSquared team has always gone above and beyond to create the best analytics platform and provide top notch
Read full review
I believe I've only contacted support once because I had a question about access to a feature, and they told me it wasn't available on the plan I was on. No big deal, they were polite and prompt to respond and answered my question to my satisfaction. I haven't had any real issues with the software, so I haven't needed much in the way of support outside of that question, but I have no reason to believe their support wouldn't be helpful in more pressing situations.

GoSquared suited us much better than the two alternatives that we evaluated. We were already an Intercom user but GoSqured suited our requirements much better. The look and feel of the product is a subjective topic but I personally felt that GS does a better job here. Also, I will recommend any potential customer of GS to check out Mixpanel as well, they have a very competent product and you can't go wrong with either of the options.
