How this compares, including when it loses
Every page here names the case where the other tool is the better answer. A comparison that never concedes anything is an advertisement, and readers can tell.
ReportsHQ compared with Google Analytics
GA measures traffic to pages. This measures things that happened in your application. They answer different questions, and plenty of teams should run both.
ReportsHQ compared with Metabase
Metabase queries the database you already have, which is more powerful and needs someone who writes SQL. This reports on a stream of events with no query to write.
ReportsHQ compared with Mixpanel
Mixpanel is a deeper product analytics tool with cohorts and behavioural segmentation. This is a smaller thing that gets a team to a correct report sooner.
ReportsHQ compared with Plausible
Plausible is privacy-first web analytics from a script on your pages. This reads server-side events, so it sees orders and refunds a page-view tracker cannot.
ReportsHQ compared with Looker Studio
Looker Studio draws dashboards over connectors you configure. This owns the collection as well as the drawing, which is fewer moving parts and less reach.
ReportsHQ compared with building it yourself
A table, a cron job and a chart library is a weekend. The second year of it is not. An honest account of what you would end up maintaining.
