Where Vireo is ahead

  • Imports from Google Analytics 4 as well as other plugins, so GA4 history comes with you.
  • Countries and devices in the free plugin. Koko has them in Pro.
  • 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.

Where Koko is ahead

  • A smaller script: Koko says it adds less than 1 KB to your pages. Vireo's tracker and its Core Web Vitals script come to about 3.5 KB gzipped in the current release.
  • Free importers for seven plugins, the same idea as Vireo's.
  • 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.

Switching from Koko Analytics
