How this was measured

34 completed answers from brandtrace.net:auto, collected on 2026-08-25. Grounding: mixed.

We asked exactly these questions:

  • “Recommend an analytics tool for a small ecommerce site.”
  • “What analytics platform should a SaaS company use?”
  • “What are the leading web analytics platforms right now?”
  • “What is the best website analytics tool?”
  • “Which privacy-friendly analytics tools are there?”
  • “Which website analytics tool is the best Google Analytics alternative?”

Every figure here comes from our own runs, never customer data. Full methodology.
