One big improvement over Google Analytics would be if "compared to one year ago" shifted to the nearest same weekday. |

Some more ideas for extra comparisons here: #391 (reply in thread) "I feel like you should be able to select the comparison period (which is how e.g. Stripe does it) as opposed to inferring it. E.g., how can I compare November to January? I realise that's another menu but would take out some of the ambiguity. Re. the above, I'm personally more interesting in the direct comparison to the previous month (Nov 1–16 vs Dec 1–16), but appreciate the other one might be more popular." |

Just to add to this. New customer on trial and liking it so far. Comparison is one of the big things I currently use GA for. I frequently compare any set custom period with the same period the previous year to see how things are progressing. |

thanks for your feedback @shornuk! year over year comparison for our custom range would be very useful! |

Something like this would be great... Especially if it tied in with the comparison lines on the chart as per #532 |

That's exactly what we plan to do! We'll just make the comparison menu fit into the current date picker so it takes less space. And when you view a comparison you also get the comparison line in the chart. @Vigasaurus has some ideas and will help us make this happen! |

Awesome. I'm halfway through my trial at the moment, but I can see myself switching off GA in a couple of weeks! 👍 |

What is the status of this one? I'm really looking forward to this function, also being halfway my trial at the moment. |

There are a couple big projects that need to be integrated first (GA import, main graph selections, intervals, there are PRs for each). After those features, comparisons are very high on the list. |

Great. If we get GA import at some point that's a major plus. (But I'll be longing even more for comparisons 😂) |

Still waiting for this one too! I’ve gone past my first full year, so the need for comparisons is getting greater. |

One more for this feature! Just comparing to the prior period can't take into account special promotions or other outliers, but YOY comparisons allow you to compare in a much more apples to apples way, especially if your promotion always run during similar times in the calendar. |

@metmarkosaric Is there an updated ETA for this feature? |

No ETA at the moment unfortunately. There are a couple big projects that need to be integrated first (GA import, main graph selections, intervals, there are PRs for each). After those features, comparisons are very high on the list. |

Messaged the team today to ask about if there's an updated ETA. There's none at the moment. However, they did mention that after intervals are released (sounded soon), this will be one of the features included in the "next sprint". Hopefully soon! |

Correct. Intervals is in final stages of polishing and unless something urgent comes up internally, we'll start on comparisons soon after that. |

Thanks. Is this now planned? Is there anything you can share in terms of ETA? |

It is planned but we also have a couple weeks of other work to do first. We're a small team and we have to juggle between working on infrastructure, operations, accuracy, bugfixing, and also adding new features. Comparisons is the next dashboard feature we're planning to work on but we have a lot of other areas of focus as well, so I'm sorry if things aren't going at the speed you're expecting. We don't share ETAs publicly because of these reasons |

Obviously, no need to apologize for that. I'm sure you are doing all in your power to juggle the maintenance with new features. The new KPIs are great, and the intervals were epic too. I feel though as this is such a strong (and common) product offering in your sphere. Keep us updated and keep up the good work! |

Sorry my question was about the self hosted version ;) |

I guess I must change the link to the 2.0 in docker conf https://hub.docker.com/r/plausible/analytics/tags is that right? |

this is not live in self-hosted. self-hosted is a long term release so new features are not available immediately. you can read more about the differences here https://plausible.io/self-hosted-web-analytics |

@2803media that tag is not officially released yet. It was built to verify #2879 works. There still might be some other problems. However, if you are set on trying it out, please see the WIP release notes: plausible/community-edition#68 |
