Plausible vs. Google Analytics: Uncovering the Discrepancy

At a glance

The community member who posted the original post noticed that Google Analytics (GA) consistently showed higher visit counts than Plausible on their website. The comments suggest this could be due to how the two analytics tools count visits, with GA potentially including bot traffic or other factors that Plausible may not. Another commenter mentioned that Plausible scripts could be blocked by ad blockers, such as in the Brave browser. However, another community member stated that Brave blocks everything and there is nothing wrong with Plausible. The comments also indicate that Plausible's bot protection may be blocked in some cases.

I recently tried Plausible and GA on a single site and shockingly, GA has always showed higher visits than Plausible

probably depends on what they count as visits, e.g. bots and co
Probably. Another reason could be that plausible scripts are being blocked by ad blockers. I found it on my brave browser

Brave blocks everything. Nothing wrong with plausible.
They block our bot protection in forms as well.
