GA4 has a steep reporting and consent-configuration learning curve; Analytics 360 pricing is not public and standard properties have lower limits. | There is no permanent free plan. Pricing starts at 250,000 monthly events and can increase automatically with usage; on-premises or private-cloud deployment is an Enterprise option, not a community edition. |
