SmarterStats Edition Explanation

Professional Edition vs. Enterprise Edition

SmarterStats Professional has all the features you need in a complete business analytics solution, including web log analytics, search engine optimization and site tuning. SmarterStats Enterprise offers additional features, including:

  • Custom reporting
  • Scheduled and on-demand email reports
  • Support for up to 30,000 websites spread over multiple web servers per SmarterStats installation
  • Reports across distributed networks on a virtually unlimited number of servers
  • Propagation of settings across distributed networks

SmarterStats Free

SmarterStats Free includes the same functionality as SmarterStats Enterprise, but does not include support for distributed analysis and is limited to a single site and a single SEO campaign. This is to give you an opportunity to try all the features out before making a decision on which edition to purchase.
