What's going wrong

Site owners who used a free WordPress analytics dashboard report that a recent update moved most of its useful features, such as real-time views and flexible date ranges, behind a paid license. Many say the free version is now nearly useless, and some describe price jumps to a hundred dollars or more per year. Agencies that installed it on many client sites feel the cost lands on them, and several removed it entirely. The opening for a fix is a clear free tier that keeps basic reporting, plus a simple paid option priced per site for people who need the extra features.
