Lomen vs Google Analytics

Google Analytics can do almost anything, once it is set up. Lomen does less, on purpose. Here is where each one is the better pick.

The short version

Google Analytics is the default for good reasons: it is free, very deep, and wired into Google Ads, Search Console and BigQuery. It is also a lot of tool, and it sets cookies. Lomen makes the opposite trade: cookie-free counting, four tabs instead of dozens of reports, AI that tells you in plain words what changed, your income on the same chart as your visitors, and your YouTube videos lined up with the traffic they brought.

Lomen is the better pick: 3
About even: 3
