What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 44 of the 58 other website and product analytics tools we grade. It costs $72 a year. Pirsch is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself. - 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: Splitting visitors between versions and telling you which won. - You could not: It plugs into other products, WordPress, Google Analytics and Plausible among them, and has an API. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
