Analytics pricing should include privacy setup, not only software cost
When comparing analytics tools, include the cost of consent review, cookie risk, implementation, dashboard clarity, and support.
| Cost area | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Implementation | Tracking scripts, events, UTM logic, and redirects need QA. |
| Privacy review | Cookies, consent banners, and third-party scripts can add operational risk. |
| Reporting | A simpler dashboard can save time for small teams. |
