JAMP vs Google Analytics
Google Analytics tells you about traffic, in exchange for cookies, consent banners and a steep learning curve. JAMP gives you the numbers that matter without the cookie banner, and adds uptime, errors and real-user performance in the same place.

Why teams choose JAMP over Google Analytics
No cookie banners, ever
Google Analytics relies on cookies and personal data, which is what forces the consent banner and the GDPR paperwork. JAMP is cookieless by architecture, so the banner simply goes away.
Monitoring is built in
GA only knows about traffic. JAMP watches uptime, catches JavaScript errors with source-mapped stack traces, and tracks real-user vitals, all in the same dashboard as your analytics.
Your data stays yours
GA sends visitor data into Google. JAMP keeps it on our own hardware in the EU, never samples it, and never shares it.
In fairness
Google Analytics is free and extremely deep for marketers who live in audiences, funnels and Google Ads attribution. If tight Google Ads integration is the centre of your world, GA is hard to beat.
Frequently asked questions
Is JAMP a good Google Analytics alternative?
Yes. JAMP gives you the traffic, sources and audience numbers most teams use GA for, without cookies or a consent banner, and adds uptime, error and performance monitoring that GA does not cover.
Does JAMP need a cookie consent banner like Google Analytics?
No. JAMP is cookieless by design and stores no personal data, so it does not trigger the consent banner that GA cookies require under GDPR.
Can I see Core Web Vitals in JAMP?
Yes. JAMP collects Core Web Vitals from your real visitors and rolls them up per page, and it can run on-demand lab audits when you want a deeper breakdown.
