• Starter does not include A/B Testing, Popup CTAs, or Error Tracking; those capabilities begin on the $99/month Plus tier.
• Crazy Egg does not charge overages, but tracking pauses when monthly plan limits are reached until the next month unless you upgrade or add capacity.

Google Analytics

• Web and app event-based measurement in Google Analytics 4
• Cross-platform reporting and attribution
• Audiences, key events, explorations, and customizable reports
• Machine-learning-based insights and predictive capabilities
• Native integrations with Google Ads, Search Ads 360, Search Console, and Google Cloud
• BigQuery export, with materially higher daily export limits on Analytics 360

• Standard properties have lower limits than Analytics 360, including up to 14 months of configurable data retention versus up to 50 months on 360.
• Standard explorations can sample at 10 million events per query, while 360 raises that threshold and adds unsampled exploration capacity.
• Standard daily BigQuery export is capped at 1 million events, while Analytics 360 supports much larger daily exports; organizations exceeding Standard limits need to evaluate a 360 contract.
