Piano Analytics vs Piwik PRO (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Piano Analytics if

• Fits if you are a publisher or large brand that wants unsampled data
• Works for teams that want data from marketing, product and content in one model

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a price before talking to sales, as none is published
• Not for you if you want to try it first, as there is no trial
• Watch out: the compliance and speed figures, such as 95% of queries under 2 seconds, are the vendor's own claims
• Watch out: it is sold alongside Piano's other products, so scope may be larger than you want

Pick Piwik PRO if

• Fits if you need analytics, tags and a consent banner from one EU-friendly vendor
• Works for a company that must choose where its data is hosted

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a free plan, since only the 30-day trial is free
• Tight if you're near 2M monthly actions or 20 domains, which cap Business
• Pricey if you need CSV exports to BigQuery, S3 or SFTP, extended retention or onboarding, all paid add-ons
• Watch out: the page lists euros and gives the Business price no billing period
