Pros & cons

What actually works day-to-day, and the trade-offs you'll feel after week one.

What works

  • Dashboard anyone on the team can read
  • No cookie banner needed in most jurisdictions

  • Self-hosted option is production-ready

What doesn't

  • Not a full BI tool — intentionally limited

  • No app analytics

Bottom line

A refreshing swap for GA on content sites and SaaS marketing pages. Keep GA alongside it only if you depend on it for ads attribution.
