great little plugin!
it is really helpful – I love it
Perfect for a small site like us
Just works out of the box. We wanted something privacy friendly and this offers us enough for a small site. Still gives us plenty to analyse.
Lacks too much on free version
Doesn’t track country of origin, doesn’t say % of other systems per device(only the top one), no option to see stats on the top bar, etc The free version is too incomplete.
