Comparison
MikroAnalytics is for teams that want useful web and product signals without visitor profiling or a managed analytics account. It favors ownership, clear dashboards, and a small deployment surface over large marketing suites.
It is not meant to be better than every alternative. It is meant to be a better fit when ownership, simplicity, and a smaller operational surface matter.
