The tools you know,
side by side.
Every fact about another product on these pages comes from its own pricing page, docs, repository or license, with a link. Where we couldn’t confirm something, the page says so. Where another tool does better, the page says that too.

How we compare
We read each vendor’s own pages and link them next to each fact. “Their claim” marks something a vendor says about itself, such as needing no consent banner.
“Not found” means we looked in their docs and pricing and didn’t find it. It may still exist. Tracker sizes are our own download, gzipped at the default level.
Prices and features change. If a fact is wrong or out of date, open an issue with the source. The full tables are in the comparison docs.

misomoon is one script tag. Run it beside your current analytics for a few weeks and compare the numbers yourself.
