Can I use Monsido Statistics and Piwik PRO simultaneously?

Yes, if you have both Monsido Statistics and Advanced Analytics enabled on your account, you can use them simultaneously if you wish. For performance reasons, however, it may be a good idea to only have one of the services installed at the same time on your website.

Monsido does not offer support for any of the products and services provided by Piwik PRO. Please refer to Piwik PRO's Help Center for more information on how to use the product.

Can I use Piwik PRO for domain groups?

No. Piwik PRO does not offer the same domain segmentation options that Monsido does and we can therefore not offer Piwik PRO for domain groups. The Advanced Analytics module will not show in the platform if you are working in the scope of a domain group.

Is the Piwik Pro login connected to my Monsido account?
