Comparisons
Plans Free, Pro
Numbers mean little on their own. The comparison says what your date range is measured against, so every change you see (for example “18.6% up”) has something to be a change from.
Choose a comparison. Next to Compare, above the numbers, pick one:
| Choice | What it compares with |
|---|---|
| Previous period | The stretch of the same length just before your range. For 90 days, it is the 90 days before. This is the starting choice. |
| Year over year | The same dates one year earlier. |
| Off | Nothing. The change tags disappear. |
The chart title also says what is being compared, for example “Jul 10 to Oct 7, 2026 vs Jul 10 to Oct 7, 2025”.
What changes when you compare
- The number cards show the previous value and the change. See Number cards.
- The tables show a change tag on each number and a Click change column. See Queries and pages table.
- The chart draws the comparison as a dashed line. See Performance chart.
- With Off, those extras are hidden.
Good to know
- Your range and a previous-period comparison never overlap: the previous period ends the day before your range starts.
- Changing the date range moves the comparison with it.
- On Free, the comparison is also limited to the last 16 months. A comparison that falls before that is shortened or dropped, and a short note says so.
- Your choice is kept in the page address.
