# Choose analytics by the question you ask

> MIRA FIVE beside Google Analytics, Matomo, Plausible, Pirsch, etracker, DataFast, Tracify and PostHog: fair comparisons, and where the other tool fits better.

URL: https://mirafive.io/compare

Each comparison names where the other tool is the better choice, and how to run both side by side.

Pick analytics by the question you need answered. For traffic counts, a light visit counter such as Plausible or Pirsch is enough, and GA4 is free and deep. To see which channel and Google Ads campaign brought the people who paid, and what each buyer cost, MIRA FIVE is built for that, from €0 or €20 a month.
