Vireo vs Analytify
Analytify shows Google Analytics 4 reports in WordPress, with Search Console queries beside them in the free plugin. Its paid plans cover store, form, LMS and campaign tracking, and a lifetime licence for unlimited sites. It suits people who want GA4 kept as the source of truth and a cheaper route to its add-ons than the bigger GA4 plugins. Visitor data is collected by Google Analytics, so GA4's cookies and consent rules apply.
