Blog Tipz

Google Analytics has been the main player for nearly everyone that has a blog. The suite and tools included are enterprise-class, giving you everything you need to run a campaign or track what people are searching for within your site.

Woopra recently came out of private beta, and now everyone can have an account, but for anyone with over 30,000 page views during the month, they will have to upgrade to a $4.95/month package or higher. Receiving ten million page views per month, you’ll be paying well over $1,800. Google Analytics is free up to five million page views, and I doubt that the limitation is enforced for all sites. As long as you spend $30 ($1 minimum budget within AdWords), you can continue using it once you break the threshold.

Additionally, Woopra is real-time like Twitter, while Google can be looked at as Google Search, which only updates every few hours.

Now that you know some of the main differences between the two, the Royal Pingdom blog has covered many other key differences and similarities between the two services.

Quote from the post:

Both Google Analytics and Woopra collect similar data. Like any analytics software, each provides the same dizzying array of visitor information — number of page views, top referrers, visitor language, browser setting, and more. If you just want to know how busy a site is or how visitors end up on a certain page, either tool will suffice.
