Just wondering if anyone knows any alternatives to Urchin Web Analytics ASIDE from SmarterStats that works well and looks nice.

I just don't really like how Urchin works.

Suggestions would be appreciated, thanks. :)

free or pay?

I'd be willing to pay, as Urchin was paid. :)

Urchin is your best choice, but Google Analystics is a decent free alternative.

Google Analytics is Urchin, although free

I honestly don't know anything about statistics, but I was recommended Mint (http://www.haveamint.com/) by a client. Everything is all fancy and animated and AJAXey. I cannot evaluate it's worth as a statistics package but it definitely does look impressive.

It looks nice, however I like to see graphs with my stats. (I couldn't find any in Mint, maybe I wasn't looking hard enough...)

But right now, you can´t get Google analytics

FWIW, I've always used Urchin, but have a few associates who swear by Mint as well.

Since Urchin is now a "dead" product as far as future versions and enhancements are concerned, I'd be interested in a hosted solution for hosts that offers what Urchin does and more. We paid 4-5 thousand for Urchin software, so something in that range (more or less) is fine by me.

look for webtrends 7.0

Too bad webtrends 7.x only runs on a windows server, and is not designed for a web host to offer it "en masse".

Someone should pick up the torch from Urchin, as that model was highly profitable for both Urchin and the hosts that used it.
