juuna vs

Google Analytics

Free, everywhere, and built around advertising. The default choice, which is exactly why the trade deserves a close read.

You need free at any scale. GA4 costs nothing at volumes juuna charges real money for.

You want session replay, heatmaps and Core Web Vitals in the same tool as your traffic. GA4 offers none of them.

juuna vs

Plausible

Excellent lightweight web stats: a sub-kilobyte script, no cookies, open source. If counting visits is the whole job, it wins.

You want the lightest possible script and clean web stats, nothing more.

You need to watch sessions, not just count them. Masked session replay and click, scroll and attention heatmaps are on every plan.

juuna vs

III

PostHog

The everything-platform: analytics, replay, flags, experiments and a warehouse, metered by usage. Powerful, and a lot to hold.

You want feature flags, A/B experiments or surveys in the same platform as analytics. juuna does none of those.

You want a bill that reads the same every month.
