What moved across your competitive set

Google Analytics / GA4 Verified Privacy / Consent

GA4 Consent Mode shifted (Jun 15, 2026): ad_storage is now the single authority for ad data to Google Ads — consent-denied traffic measurement got stricter. Privacy-analytics vendors should refresh /vs-GA4 copy.

Fathom Analytics Watch Pricing / Positioning

No material public pricing move verified this week — still flat pageview tiers. Watch: pageview-band repricing or EU hosting claims.
