Why Teams Switch From Piwik PRO to Pirsch

For most websites, that suite is more than needed. The Business plan starts at €36 per month, data is kept for 25 months, and because Piwik PRO relies on consent management, full tracking still requires your visitors' consent. Enterprise plans start at €366 per month, billed annually. Pirsch is cookieless by design, keeps your data without time limit, includes unlimited members and costs $12 per month for 100,000 page views.

Where Piwik PRO Shines

Piwik PRO combines analytics, a tag manager, data activation and a consent management platform in one suite. Its Enterprise plans add HIPAA compliance, SOC 2 certification, single sign-on and hosting in several regions, which makes it a strong choice for large, regulated organizations.
