Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: GoAccess at 83% against Sage Systems's 15%. GoAccess also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.6) and device support (3 vs 1). Sage Systems's advantage is ratings volume (589 vs 44) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
