What you give up vs Google Analytics

  • Purely a model visualization tool; no runtime analytics, dashboards, or event tracking
  • Does not replace web or product analytics SaaS in any meaningful way
  • No team collaboration or sharing features beyond exporting images
  • No support for real-time or streaming model inference monitoring

What you gain

  • • Full data ownership — self-host Netron on your own infrastructure.
  • • No per-seat SaaS bill (Google Analytics: privacy concerns and GDPR headaches).
  • • Open-source code you can audit and extend (MIT).
