AgencyAnalytics vs Simple Analytics
A side-by-side editorial comparison of AgencyAnalytics and Simple Analytics — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
AgencyAnalytics vs Simple Analytics: at a glance
What is AgencyAnalytics?
AgencyAnalytics is turning its assistant into scheduled agency staff work, not a chat box.
The release cadence is weekly and heavily weighted toward AgencyAI. Skills landed in early August as named, runnable agency tasks; scheduling followed, letting those requests run on a cadence and post results into the client's conversation. Around them sit portfolio-management improvements — client tags, report share history, advanced metric filtering — and a consolidated Data tab feeding the assistant's context.
What is Simple Analytics?
Privacy analytics tightening its API and moving IP blocking off the CDN
The feed stores each change several times — once with the body text captured as the title, once as a clean headline, sometimes a third time with a date prefix. Behind the duplication, three real changes: API v6 with proper interval support while v5 stays unchanged for compatibility, IP blocking moved off the bunny.net CDN so it works on custom domains and applies per site rather than account-wide, and Events Explorer readability work with column truncation, a full-width toggle and collapsible headers.

AgencyAnalytics is turning its assistant into scheduled agency staff work, not a chat box.
◆ Current state
The release cadence is weekly and heavily weighted toward AgencyAI. Skills landed in early August as named, runnable agency tasks; scheduling followed, letting those requests run on a cadence and post results into the client's conversation. Around them sit portfolio-management improvements — client tags, report share history, advanced metric filtering — and a consolidated Data tab feeding the assistant's context.
◆ Where it's heading
Every recent release either gives AgencyAI more to read or more autonomy in when it runs. The Data tab consolidation, the AI Tracker add-on for AI search visibility, and now scheduling all point the same way: the platform is being positioned to produce the recurring client deliverables an agency would otherwise assign to a junior analyst.
◆ Prediction
Expect scheduled AgencyAI output to gain delivery paths beyond conversation history — into reports or client-facing sends — given the existing report scheduling and share infrastructure.

Privacy analytics tightening its API and moving IP blocking off the CDN
◆ Current state
The feed stores each change several times — once with the body text captured as the title, once as a clean headline, sometimes a third time with a date prefix. Behind the duplication, three real changes: API v6 with proper interval support while v5 stays unchanged for compatibility, IP blocking moved off the bunny.net CDN so it works on custom domains and applies per site rather than account-wide, and Events Explorer readability work with column truncation, a full-width toggle and collapsible headers.
◆ Where it's heading
The work is about removing borrowed constraints. IP blocking inherited the CDN's limits and blast radius; moving it in-house made it per-site and custom-domain compatible. API v6 does the same for time handling — hourly data separates day and hour, weeks and months carry explicit start dates — while keeping v5 stable so nobody is forced to migrate. Both are the moves of a product whose users integrate it and stay.
◆ Prediction
With v6 shipped alongside an unchanged v5, expect a deprecation timeline for v5 to be the next API announcement, though the entries do not name one.
