Control the time period for all reports with preset ranges, custom dates, and comparison periods.

Detailed comparison of Google Analytics 4 and Sealmetrics covering data accuracy, privacy compliance, features, and pricing.

Why Sealmetrics can legitimately report fewer (or more) visits than GA4 or another tool: entrances vs sessions, bot filtering at ingest, and no sampling.

Compare analytics between time periods with the compare parameter — previous period or year-over-year deltas on any stats endpoint

How Sealmetrics compares with GA4, Matomo, Plausible, Fathom, Piwik PRO and Simple Analytics on identifiers, IP handling, data residency, consent and script size.

Fathom hashes IP and user agent daily and stores anonymised data in the US after EU processing. Sealmetrics never hashes the IP and keeps all data in Dublin.

GA4 needs cookies and consent, so it loses the visitors who reject or ignore the cookie banner. Sealmetrics measures without cookies or IP storage, hosted in Dublin; no banner, by our self-assessment.

Matomo is GPL-licensed and self-hostable, but its cookieless mode hashes the visitor's IP. Sealmetrics doesn't store the IP or build its identifier from it, and keeps analytics data in Dublin.

Piwik PRO pairs analytics with a consent manager and an anonymous mode hashed from the IP. Sealmetrics needs no consent layer (self-assessed), stores no IP and keeps analytics data only in Dublin.

Plausible identifies visitors with a daily hash of IP and user agent; Sealmetrics never derives an identifier from the IP. Both cookieless, both EU-hosted.

Both skip cookies and IPs, say no consent banner is needed and derive country from the timezone. Simple Analytics keeps it minimal; Sealmetrics adds attribution, e-commerce and AI.
