Piano Analytics is the analytics product in Piano's revenue intelligence and monetization platform, which also covers subscriptions, audience data and social distribution. It collects unsampled event data, lets teams build reports in a query tool, and arranges them in drag-and-drop dashboards. Piano says it is GDPR- and HIPAA-compliant. Pricing is not published, and buyers request a demo. - **Category:** Website & Product Analytics - **Made by:** Piano Software Inc. - **Website:** https://www.piano.io - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you want a price before talking to sales, as none is published. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 13, 2026 ## Pricing Piano Analytics's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## Key features - **Unsampled event collection:** Captures customizable events with bot filtering and tag verification; Piano says it processes over four trillion events a year without sampling. - **Data Query:** A query builder for exploring the data, whose reports can be saved and reused. - **Workspaces dashboards:** Off-the-shelf or custom reports can be placed on drag-and-drop dashboards. - **Unified data model:** Combines data from marketing, product, content, point-of-sale and other functions, available inside or outside the platform in real time. - **Privacy and compliance:** Piano states that the product is GDPR- and HIPAA-compliant, as certified by third-party auditors. ## Good for - Large publishers and media companies that already use Piano for subscriptions - Organizations that need unsampled analytics with strict privacy requirements - Data teams that want a query tool and dashboards in one product ## Worth knowing - Pricing is not published; the site points to a demo request. - It is sold alongside Piano's other products, and the pages read describe an enterprise buyer. - No free plan or self-serve trial is mentioned on the pages read. - Compliance and speed figures (such as 95% of queries under 2 seconds) are the vendor's own claims. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 1.8 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Piano Analytics collects unsampled events, with a query builder and drag-and-drop dashboards.

The listing names no gap in the core work. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/analytics ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** The plain part of Piano Analytics you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 83 of the 100 other website and product analytics tools grade higher. - You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: A tracking script and a database that counts every visit. - You could not: Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: HIPAA. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
