SearchSeal vs Simple Analytics
Simple Analytics is privacy-friendly web analytics with traffic reporting, events, goals, funnels, exports and automated reports.
Simple Analytics and SearchSeal both minimize visitor data and focus on understandable website outcomes. Simple Analytics has deeper event, goal, funnel, export and reporting features. SearchSeal adds separate infrastructure evidence for AI crawlers.
