Pros: The only differentiating feature is that this program operates within your WordPress browser, compared to Google Analytics which does not. I haven't found any features in this program that are different from the free Google offerings, but I was told by the support team that there are some. I was also appreciative of the support team turning off "Auto-Renewal" when I complained about the product (which I hadn't realized was activated by default anyways).
Cons: Almost everything Monster Insights features, is already included in Google Analytics. You must sign up for Google Analytics in order to use MI, so I haven't found this product to be of much use... The "Search Console Report" keeps producing an error message. The product has a 14-day refund policy, but it takes longer than that to get any meaningful results and to set it up with Google and then within WordPress. When I contacted the company about this issue, and the fact that their program doesn't offer much more than Google Analytics, they cited their refund policy, and cancelled the "Automatic Subscription Renewal" that apparently comes activated so that it will automatically renew itself for a year if you don't turn it off. Absolutely not worth the money. There are free options that are just as helpful.
Overall: I would not purchase this program again. If you have already purchased it, and did not get your refund within 14 days, you must ensure that auto-renewal is turned off so that it does not continue charging your card. For the average user like myself, this program is essentially a paid version of Google Analytics. There is very little to differentiate itself from GA and the support team would not refund any of my money when I asked.
