Google Analytics
Google Analytics shows you the full customer picture across ads and videos, websites, apps and social tools, tablets and smartphones. That makes it easier to serve your current customers and win new ones. Provides real-time data and reporting to monitor user interactions and traffic trends instantly.
CleverTap and Google Analytics, much like two galactic explorers meeting in a coffee shop, both spend their time obsessing over user interactions. They track events with the kind of precision that would make a Vogon bureaucrat weep, allow you to group users into nifty little cohorts and even integrate with other marketing tools that promise to make your life easier (but probably won’t). Both operate in real-time, giving you instant insights that you can stare at in mild panic, wondering what to do with them.

CleverTap, born in India in 2013, is the more enthusiastic of the two, focusing not just on observing users but actively nudging them with AI-powered campaigns, push notifications and SMS messages they may or may not appreciate. It particularly enjoys hanging around mobile apps, whispering sweet engagement strategies into their metaphorical ears. If Google Analytics is the watchful but detached observer, CleverTap is the over-eager salesperson who not only tracks your movement but also follows up with a friendly, slightly intrusive message asking if you'd like to come back.

Google Analytics, on the other hand, is the older, wiser and slightly more cynical sibling, having been around since 2005 in the United States. It prefers websites to mobile apps and takes a more hands-off approach, diligently recording everything you do but leaving the actual user engagement to someone else. It’s particularly cozy with Google Ads, helping marketers spend money in creative and occasionally terrifyingly effective ways. Unlike CleverTap, it doesn’t want to talk to your users—it just wants to know everything about them.
