Before signing a contract, we’ll help you estimate the number of actions for your plan and propose the pricing for you. However, if you want to check the number of actions beforehand, you can do it in the following ways:
Google Analytics
Check the number of hits. The hits in Google Analytics are similar to our actions. They are not identical though. So the number you’ll come up with will be an estimated value.
For selected date range
- Page views + events = Hits
- Google Analytics > Behavior > Overview > Pageviews
- Google Analytics > Behavior > Events > Overview > Events
For last 30 days
- Google Analytics > Admin > Property Settings > Property Hit Volume
Google Analytics 4
Check the number of events. Events in Google Analytics 4 are similar our actions. They are not identical though. So the number you come up with will be an estimated value.
For selected date range
- Google Analytics 4 > Events > Overview > Event count

Custom reports (for versions below 16.2.3)
- For a single site or app: create a custom report
- For all sites and apps: create a meta site and a custom report
Other methods
- Check the number of page views on your website. In most cases, the number of actions consists of over 90% page views. But this is not a rule for ecommerce websites where visitors perform many events during the session. Also, if you’re planning to use many custom events or merge data through Audience Manager, the proportions will be different.
- Check the monthly number of requests in your server log. This will give you a rough number of actions — 10-20% of the original number. The inaccuracy of this calculation is because visitors tend to perform more than one action during one session, some of the visitors use tracking blockers or don’t agree to being tracked.
