Google Analytics alternative: no banner, €8 a month.
GA4 is free, but in Europe it requires a cookie banner. Snorklee costs €8 a month excluding VAT and counts 100% of your visitors, asking them nothing.
GA4 costs nothing in subscription, but it sets cookies: in the European Union measurement requires consent, hence a banner — and every refusal is a visit you no longer count. Snorklee price on 1 September 2026: €8/month ex. VAT for 200,000 pageviews and 10 sites.
Snorklee and Google Analytics 4, line by line.
A factual comparison. The Snorklee price is the catalog price on 1 September 2026.
| Criterion | Snorklee | Google Analytics 4 |
|---|---|---|
| Price | €8/month ex. VAT — 200,000 pageviews, 10 sites | free (GA4) — analytics only, banner and CMP at your own cost |
| Cookie banner | none — nothing is written to the browser | _ga cookies — consent required in the EU |
| Visits measured | 100% — there is nothing to refuse | refusals are not measured; the gaps are filled by modeling |
| Where the data lives | Paris (France) — never transferred outside the EU | Google LLC, United States (transfer framed by the Data Privacy Framework) |
| Google Search Console | ✓ included, read-only | ✓ Search Console link available |
| Bing Webmaster Tools | ✓ included, read-only | — not offered |
| AI bots identified (GPTBot, ClaudeBot…) | ✓ counted page by page | — |
| Visitors arriving from AI chats | ✓ counted separately, without cookies | visible as referring sites |
| Unique visitor counting | no identifier is kept | per-device identifier (_ga cookie), tracked across days |
| Learning curve | one readable page, no training | powerful but complex: events, explorations, training often needed |
| Weekly report by email | ✓ included, with your logo | via Looker Studio, a separate tool |
What about Matomo or Plausible?
Both are good tools, older than Snorklee, and they measure very well without cookies. Here are the figures, checked on 1 September 2026 on matomo.org and plausible.io.
| Criterion | Snorklee | Matomo | Plausible |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry price, hosted | €8/month ex. VAT — 200,000 pageviews, 10 sites | from €29/month — 50,000 hits, 30 sites (Matomo Cloud) | from $9/month — 10,000 pageviews, 1 site (Starter plan) |
| Free self-hosting | no — managed service only | yes — Community edition, free, unlimited hits, yours to host | yes — Community Edition (AGPLv3) |
| Search Console and Bing | both, included | both, through a premium plugin | Search Console only |
| Trial | 14 days, no credit card | free trial offered on Matomo Cloud | 30 days, no credit card |
When Matomo or Plausible are the right choice: if you want to host the tool yourself, or if all you need is to count visits. Snorklee offers no self-hosting — managed service only — and it is younger than both.
Detailed comparison: Snorklee and Matomo · Detailed comparison: Snorklee and Plausible
Three differences you see from day one.
No banner, 100% of visitors
Snorklee reads nothing from the browser and writes nothing to it: there is nothing to accept. You count all your visits, not only those that clicked « Accept ». GA4 only measures consenting visitors and fills in the rest by modeling.
Search Console and Bing on the same screen
You connect your Google Search Console and your Bing Webmaster Tools account. Keywords, clicks, impressions and positions appear next to your visitors, read-only. GA4 offers the Search Console link; Bing, no.
Your data stays in Paris
Snorklee is hosted in Paris and run by a French company: your data does not leave the European Union. With GA4 it is processed by Google LLC in the United States, under the Data Privacy Framework.
When Google Analytics is still the right choice: if you run Google Ads campaigns, export to BigQuery, or need very detailed e-commerce analysis. Snorklee does none of that, cannot be self-hosted, and is younger than GA4. Our argument is elsewhere: €8 a month excluding VAT, no banner, and 100% of visits counted.
Move from Google Analytics to Snorklee in three steps.
Count a few minutes. You can leave GA4 running in parallel while you compare.
- Create an account and add your site. The trial lasts 14 days, no credit card.
- Paste the Snorklee script: a single line in the header, or the WordPress plugin.
- Compare with GA4 for a few days, then remove the Google tag and its banner.
Your history: Snorklee does not import your GA4 data. Measurement starts on installation, and your history stays readable in Google Analytics — export it to archive it.
