Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
**Google Analytics Alternatives**
Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday.
Since then: Googleโs Universal Analytics has been sunset, weโve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book โGoogle Analytics Alternativesโ.
Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GAโs market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You wonโt find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of whatโs currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process.
Weโll also be giving out some free copies of Jasonโs book! So even if youโve got a โGA4Lyfeโ tattoo (no judgement), thereโs free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
Thanks to our 2026 sponsors:
