Google Analytics 4

What Google Analytics 4 does well

Google Analytics 4 is free for most websites and is one of the most widely used analytics tools in the world. It handles very large amounts of traffic, measures events across websites and apps, and connects closely with Google Ads, Search Console and other Google products.

For teams with an analyst, it is extremely flexible: custom events, audiences, explorations and data export make it possible to answer very specific questions, given enough setup.

Sectira

Where Sectira is different

Google Analytics reports on pages and events. Sectira measures the sections inside each page, shows how far people read them, and ties each one to conversions and revenue, with nothing to tag.

Instead of reports to explore, you get a plain-language list of what to fix, ranked by impact. Sectira sets itself up on most websites once you add your domain, and it sets no cookies by default, so for most websites no cookie banner is needed for it. Google Analytics uses cookies, which in many regions means asking visitors for consent first.

Which to choose

Sectira or Google Analytics 4: who should pick which.

Choose Sectira if

  • You want to know which sections of your pages make visitors convert, not just which pages get traffic
  • Nobody on your team has the time to learn and maintain a complex analytics setup
  • You would rather not show a cookie banner for analytics
  • You want revenue by section, source and page without a separate ecommerce project

Choose Google Analytics 4 if

  • You run Google Ads and rely on its audiences and conversion import
  • You need raw event data in a warehouse for your own analysis
  • You track apps as well as websites in one property
  • You have an analyst who will build and maintain custom reports

Using both

You do not have to choose only one.

Many teams run both: Google Analytics for advertising and company-wide reporting, Sectira for deciding what to change on the page. They do not interfere with each other.

Is Sectira a good Google Analytics alternative?
For small teams who mainly want to know what to improve on their website, yes. Sectira covers traffic, sources, pages, goals and revenue, and adds section-level insights and a ranked list of what to fix. If you depend on Google Ads integration or raw data export, Google Analytics may still be the better fit, or you can run both.
Can I run Sectira alongside Google Analytics?
Yes. They work independently, so you can add Sectira without removing anything. Many teams keep Google Analytics for advertising and use Sectira to decide what to change on their pages.
Will my numbers match Google Analytics exactly?
Probably not exactly. Every analytics tool counts visits slightly differently, and tools that need consent miss the visitors who decline. Trends should line up, and Sectira's numbers include visitors who would never accept a cookie banner.
Does Sectira need a cookie banner like Google Analytics?
For most websites, no. Sectira sets no cookies by default and never stores IP addresses. Whether you need consent depends on the laws that apply to you, so check with your adviser if you are unsure.
How long does it take to switch?
Usually a few minutes. Add your domain and Sectira sets itself up on most websites, then reports start with your first visitors. Every account starts with a 14-day free trial of Pro, with no card needed.
