COMPARISON
Anacoic vs Stape
Go beyond GTM. True multi-platform server-side tracking with edge-native architecture and AI agent capabilities Stape doesn't offer.
No GTM Required
Stape is built around Google Tag Manager. Anacoic works with a simple 1-line snippet — no container setup needed.
5x Faster Processing
Edge-native on Cloudflare vs Stape's GCP containers.<10ms latency vs 50-100ms means better attribution.
AI Agent Gateway
Built-in MCP server for AI agents. Stape has zero AI capabilities — Anacoic is built for 2026.
The GTM Dependency Problem
Stape is designed around Google Tag Manager. That means:
- Complex sGTM setup and maintenance
- Tied to Google's container ecosystem
- Template-based limitations
- Container hours pricing is unpredictable
Anacoic: One Line, Done
<script src="https://edge.anacoic.com/v1/{id}.js"></script>No GTM. No containers. No template configuration. Just paste and track.
