vs Adobe Analytics
Adobe is a contract. We are a script.
Adobe Analytics sits next to Launch, Target, and a statement of work. Cookie Free Analytics sits in a footer. Comparing them is only useful so procurement does not ask us to be Omniture.
| Cookie Free Analytics | Adobe Analytics | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | from €4 | Sales-led, enterprise |
| Cookies | No | Yes |
| Implementation | One script | A programme |
| Hosted | Frankfurt + Ireland | Adobe Cloud |
| Who it’s for | Sites that want a count | Orgs that already bought Adobe |
What they actually are
Enterprise web analytics: processing rules, classifications, huge implementations, cookies, multi-year deals. It can do almost everything. It requires people whose job title is the tool.
When to pick them
You already own Adobe Experience Cloud. Switching the brochure site off it is a governance project, not an npm install. Stay.
When to pick us
A brand site or a docs subdomain that should not wait for the Adobe queue. Or a company that wanted “something like GA” and got a quote they cannot explain.
The honest bit
They have implementations we cannot staff. We have a price you can read. If an RFP lists 200 features, we will lose it. We should.
Questions
- Is Cookie Free Analytics an Adobe Analytics alternative?
- Not for an enterprise Adobe shop. Yes for a site that was told Adobe was the only “serious” option and only needed pageviews without cookies.
