Wondering why Matomo is the choice of a top analytics platform? We've analyzed both solutions to help you make up your mind.

Matomo has become the most popular web analytics tool in Europe and in the US. This growing popularity led to increased competition from Google Analytics, the market leader. Many companies that previously used Google Analytics, have started to use Matomo. GA4 is an excellent tool that also provides free access to it. Why not use it and enjoy free access? Many people just start using GA4, but there are a lot of reasons why you may consider Matomo for your tracking purposes.

Here are 5 reasons why you should consider Matomo:

1.


Matomo is free and open-source software (FOSS). It means that the code can be reviewed by anyone, including security researchers, developers, etc. This in turn ensures that the software is secure.


2.


Matomo offers more features than Google Analytics, including advanced segmentation, real-time visitor activity, historical data analysis, and more.


3.


Matomo’s data is stored in a server that you control and not on Google servers (like GA). This gives you more control over your data and prevents Google from accessing it.


4.


Matomo offers more flexibility since it can be installed on any hosting platform (including WP) or directly on your server.


5.


Matomo has a user-friendly interface that allows anyone to easily set up and use it within minutes.
