Matt, just dropping a line to say this little article prompted me to re-visit the good’ol days on Mint. We switched over to Google Analytics about 2 years ago with the mindset that surely if Google was behind it, the product would surely be superior.

Alas. Google Analytics feels like a big world of bloat, and as you said, a lot of the features are unnecessary!

We’re back on Mint now and loving stats again.

I feel that for my needs it doesn’t get any better than Mint. Peppers are gaining strength every day and as I need functionality, I can download them. Google Analytics is a powerful app, don’t get me wrong. However for a site like mine, Mint is a perfect match.

However, I agree with Cristian about the cost of Mint vs. Google Analytics. I think Shaun Inman might have to re-think his pricing strategy if Google Analytics remains free. It’s really hard to compete with someone that offers everything you do and it’s $30 less than you charge.

I haven't tried Mint but I have heard many good things about it. If you'd like to read up abit on Measure Map, I recently did an article about my experience with it. I like it so far. http://godbit.com/article/measure-map

Mint is a fine product but dont forget that Google Analytics is only in beta stage. whatever Google do they do it on a global scale reaching millions of users therefore Mint cant compete with Google. Mint will eventually dissapear unless they make it free.

I agree, I bought Mint just recently and it really is just what a webdesigner needs, all laid out deliciously. I’m recommending it to all my clients
