Where Vireo is ahead

- Search Console searches per post, AI assistants as a traffic source, and AI crawler fetches.
- Core Web Vitals from real visitors, time on page and bounce rate, free.
- Store revenue, goals and funnels in Pro.

- A lower price for one site: €59 a year.
- A longer record: over 70,000 sites and a 5-star average from over 240 reviews, per WordPress.org.
