Why Voluum is a viable Google Analytics 4 alternative
If you want to track your own or third party offers while also protecting privacy!
Google Analytics 4 is a popular analytical tool great for tracking your own site. However, GA4 is not GDPR compliant, unlike EU-based Voluum that can legally track traffic in one of the largest markets in the world.
On top of that, Google’s pixel technology is limited to working with one’s own offers (tracking of 3rd party offers with postbacks is not possible) and it won’t work when 3rd party cookies are blocked.
How is Voluum better for most marketers than Google Analytics?
Voluum integrates with multiple ad networks, social platforms and search engines, including Google Ads, what allows Voluum to correctly track costs and automate campaign pausing or bidding in selected networks.
Google Analytics 4 allows you to see how your mobile and desktop pages are doing but it lacks the option to re-route traffic in any way - an indispensable feature for performance marketers that need to A/B test various angles of their campaigns.

Reason no. 1
Cookie-safe tracking
Tracking pixels rely on cookies to store user identifying data. Cookies set by Voluum tracking pixels are both 1st and 3rd party, meaning that they won’t be blocked by privacy-oriented web browsers.
Moreover, Voluum can track conversions from 3rd party offers with postbacks and pass conversion data to Google Ads – something that is not possible with Google Analytics 4.
Reason no. 2
Campaign optimization
Voluum was designed not only to record and display mountains of data in an easy- to- digest way, but also to perform massive A/B tests either manually or automatically. This way you can easily discover the most profitable offer or landing page with the click of a button!
It can also segmentize your audience by displaying different content depending on traffic characteristics, such as device type or language.
Reason no. 3
Bot protection
Protect yourself from bots with ease! Use our Anti-Fraud Kit instead of creating filters manually, like you have to in Google Analytics.
AFK will look for patterns and characteristics of bot traffic (such as fast clicks or IPs from known data centers) and mark them as suspicious. You can then adjust your traffic targeting options to stop buying this kind of traffic or direct it outside your campaign funnel.
Reason no. 4
Automation
Voluum's Automizer connects with your traffic platforms and allows you to set up configurable auto-rules that use if/then logic, send cost information, adjust bids, receive alerts and create blacklists & whitelists!
Meanwhile, Google Analytics is made for less-competitive environments, where you can afford to wait hours before making a decision. With Voluum Automizer, you can easily outperform the rest without sacrificing more of your time!
