Famewall vs Open Web Analytics
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Famewall and Open Web Analytics — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Famewall vs Open Web Analytics: at a glance
What is Famewall?
Famewall follows its agency push with new widget and Wall of Fame designs.
Famewall collects testimonials and publishes them as widgets and hosted walls. Its August agency push added multi-client workspaces, per-workspace permissions and white-labelling, plus a 40-source importer and video upload. September brought new widget layouts and new standalone Wall of Fame page designs with a CTA.
What is Open Web Analytics?
Open Web Analytics patches 1.14 in quick succession, fixing date ranges and heatmaps.
Since 1.14.0 added acquisition dimensions and data-repair commands in September, OWA has shipped patches up to 1.14.6 (1.14.5 is missing from the feed). 1.14.1 fixed cross-site access in REST reports and the recording player, where a user granted one site could read another site's records. Later patches restore heatmaps that had been broken since 1.10.1 and 1.13.0, fix URL query filtering, and correct relative periods: 'Last seven days' had covered eight days, and periods now count calendar days so daylight-saving changes don't shift them.

Famewall
0.0MARKETING
Famewall follows its agency push with new widget and Wall of Fame designs.
◆ Current state
Famewall collects testimonials and publishes them as widgets and hosted walls. Its August agency push added multi-client workspaces, per-workspace permissions and white-labelling, plus a 40-source importer and video upload. September brought new widget layouts and new standalone Wall of Fame page designs with a CTA.
◆ Where it's heading
After repositioning toward agencies, Famewall is broadening the display side so agencies have more layouts to offer clients. Releases have been quiet since mid-September.
◆ Prediction
It is unclear from the entries what follows the design refresh; more agency-specific controls would fit the August direction.
Open Web Analytics
5.0MARKETING
Open Web Analytics patches 1.14 in quick succession, fixing date ranges and heatmaps.
◆ Current state
Since 1.14.0 added acquisition dimensions and data-repair commands in September, OWA has shipped patches up to 1.14.6 (1.14.5 is missing from the feed). 1.14.1 fixed cross-site access in REST reports and the recording player, where a user granted one site could read another site's records. Later patches restore heatmaps that had been broken since 1.10.1 and 1.13.0, fix URL query filtering, and correct relative periods: 'Last seven days' had covered eight days, and periods now count calendar days so daylight-saving changes don't shift them.
◆ Where it's heading
The modernization run toward 2.0 continues, and the patches show its cost: regressions from the 1.10 to 1.13 rewrites are being found and fixed one by one. Release notes stay candid about what broke and since when. None of the 1.14 patches needs a schema change.
◆ Prediction
Expect more 1.14.x patches for regressions from the report-URL and schema changes, then a step toward the 2.0 branch that 1.13.0 announced.
