Why marketing teams are leaving GA4
Real complaints from real users, pulled from review platforms, community forums, and customer migration calls.
GA4 tracks pageviews and events but does not resolve to a person. You see traffic. You do not see who bought.
GA4 exploration reports require custom setup, dimension mapping, and event triggering. Most teams end up in BigQuery to answer real questions.
GA4 does not connect to messaging, personalization, or lifecycle. Analytics is a separate motion from action.

What Blu does that GA4 can't

Answers questions in English, ties events to revenue, flags anomalies
GA4 requires configuring exploration reports. Data Analyst answers in plain language and ties every metric to the users behind it.
Data Engineer
Owns the pipeline, syncs events to your Kafka and S3, flags schema drift
GA4 sends events to Google. Data Engineer publishes to the destinations you own.
Switching from GA4 is easier than you think
Most teams are fully migrated and live within a week.

An honest read on GA4
Where it is strong, where it is not, and who should pick it over us.
What GA4 does well
- Free at a scale nobody else offers, which is the whole reason it is everywhere
- Native Google Ads integration that no third party can match
- BigQuery export gives you the raw events if you have someone to query them
- Universal support. Every tool and agency already speaks it
Where it falls short
- It tracks anonymous sessions. Resolving to a person and a company is not what it does
- Exploration reports need configuring before they answer anything, and the config is its own skill
- It cannot send a message, run an experiment or hold a pipeline stage
- Pageviews, funnels and revenue live in three places that never reconcile
Who uses GA4
Marketing teams reporting on acquisition, channels and SEO · Companies running Google Ads who need the native attribution loop · Analysts who have already moved the real work into BigQuery
Pick GA4 if
You need SEO and channel reporting depth, Google Ads is the main spend, or your team already does the real analysis in BigQuery. GA4 is free and better at acquisition reporting than we are.
Bottom line
The best GA4 alternative for teams who need the pageview, the product event and the dollar on one identity. For acquisition and channel reporting next to Google Ads, GA4 is the right tool and it costs nothing.
Free tier, no sampling deal to negotiate.
GA4 is free until it is not, and the paid step is an enterprise contract. Intempt is on-demand. Metered products bill monthly in arrears on actual consumption, with no prepaid bundle to waste and no overage surcharge, rates fall as volume rises, and a month you do not use a product is a month you are not billed for it.
