Supermetry and OpenPanel
A dated look at OpenPanel and Supermetry, built from one feature matrix. Both lists below come from it, including the parts where OpenPanel is ahead.
What you run
Supermetry

OpenPanel figures are the minimums in the matrix. Supermetry's is idle usage from the core feature notes, still being measured, so it is not a like-for-like benchmark.

Moving to Supermetry
Supermetry documents importers for Plausible and Umami. We have not documented an OpenPanel importer, so a move starts fresh, optionally running both trackers side by side. The migration overview covers what carries over.
