Both cover analytics. Here is what separates them on price, billing, what you can take with you, and coverage.

Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Charts and infographics tied to live data
Infogram builds charts, maps and infographics that stay connected to the data behind them, so a published graphic changes when the sheet it reads from does. Embeds behave in most content systems. The free Basic plan publishes publicly, and paying is mostly about private projects, downloads and taking the branding off.
Our note
The live data connection is the feature worth paying for, because it turns a graphic into something you do not have to remake each month. For a single static chart, Canva or a spreadsheet will get you there faster.
Only on this side
Website numbers on a single page
Simple Analytics is one dashboard with no setup behind it, aimed at somebody who wants to know what people read and has no intention of building funnels. No cookies, no consent banner and hosting inside the EU are the three things it leads with. Pageview volume sets the price and extra users cost the same again each. Hobby sites are free if the badge stays on the page.
Ratings are the average of reviews readers left. The facts are stated by each tool’s own listing and are not verified by CloutStack. How we make money.

Our note
The per-user price matching the base price is unusual and makes this expensive for a team of three, so it is at its best for one person. The free hobby tier is a genuine offer rather than a trial, and for a personal site the badge is a fair trade.
