I'm on a PAYG account, with a very tiny site. The only report I receive on count of anonymous users is via an AzureSponsorship report, giving me a daily count. I can't get a report from PP > Admin Center > Resources >Capacity: the downloaded file has headers but no values. (The Page Views report does show values). I also run GA4 on the site.
I'm confused by the big disparity between the Azure report and stats from GA4 (or Clarity, for that matter). Over a 30-day period, Azure reports more than 2X anonymous users than GA4; the page views count on the Admin Center report is similarly >2X page views vs. GA4. The page views/user are roughly equivalent between the 2. Haven't been running Clarity long enough to have a good sample size, but its numbers are closer to (and smaller than) GA4 than to Azure reported.
I understand all cookies are not created equal, but...what am I missing? Are there other tools I should be using to understand my traffic, if GA4 is flawed?
