Know which version you’re choosing

Selection updates setup effort, budget, edition caveats, and documented funnel support. Other product details stay the same.

Resolve these before a trial

Documentation is a starting point, not proof of fit in your setup.

THE SHORT VERSION

Small teams that need a clear view of traffic, sources, and goals.

Community Edition and Cloud have different features. This does not replace the entire GA4 advertising workflow.

Managed hosting reduces infrastructure work; event setup and data quality are still your responsibility.

Website access to install a tracking script. Self-hosting requires server administration.

YOUR OWN CHECK, NOT OUR TEST RESULTS

A generic checklist to run yourself. Use a small, reversible trial and non-sensitive sample data.

Define one task and write down what a useful result would look like.
Confirm the selected edition, total cost, setup owner, and required connections in the official documentation.
Run the same task in your current setup and the candidate. Record missing steps, manual work, and errors.
Check how you would export or remove your trial data and return to your current setup.
Keep, test further, or stop. Do not migrate until your must-have requirements are confirmed.

Cloud collects analytics on managed infrastructure. Community Edition uses your own server.
