Piwik PRO Core (free) vs. Piwik PRO Enterprise

Every difference between the two available plans for Piwik PRO Analytics Suite

Piwik PRO Core is a free plan that includes many of the features of the paid Enterprise plan. It’s available for free to encourage more people to use the Piwik PRO platform. Whatever plan you choose, you keep control of the data you collect. We don’t make any money from sharing or using data collected by Core users (or Enterprise users). We make money by selling the Enterprise plan.

Piwik PRO Enterprise offers all the capabilities of the Piwik PRO platform. New features and integrations are added all the time. The Enterprise plan also offers flexibility. For example, the number of actions and the exact modules included are choices you get to make. You’ll benefit from personalized support with an option for custom add-ons and setups. You’ll get exactly the platform you need at a good value.

FAQ

What happens if I exceed 500,000 actions on the Core plan?

If you get close to the action limit of the Core plan, you’ll be presented with two options:

  • Send fewer hits to your instance (e.g. unplug some domains or track less events).
  • Buy an additional 1M or 2M monthly actions.
  • Upgrade to the Piwik PRO Enterprise plan.

How are actions counted in Piwik PRO Analytics Suite?

Actions in Piwik PRO Analytics Suite include visitors (or users of your product or app) doing something that is tracked as well as background tasks performed by the platform. The most common examples of actions are the following:

  • Page view: a visitor visits a page
  • Download: a visitor downloads a file
  • Outlink: a visitor clicks the link to an external website
  • Search: a visitor uses your internal search engine
  • Custom event: a visitor performs a custom event
  • Goal: a visitor completes a goal
  • Loading a tag manager container
  • Loading a consent manager window
  • Uploading a line item
  • Sending an API request

How do I switch from Core to Enterprise? How much time does it take?

Just let us know that you want to upgrade (however you prefer, on the Piwik PRO platform, on our website, by email…) We’ll guide you through the process. The length of the upgrade depends on several factors, most of them contractual.

If I switch to the Enterprise plan, do I keep all my settings, data, tags, etc.?

Yes. All settings and data from your Core plan instance will carry over to the Enterprise plan. That is to say, you’ll be able to start working with the Enterprise plan from wherever you left off with your Core plan setup and collected data.
