Feder and MonsterInsights: keep MonsterInsights, check the numbers you run on.
No, Feder is not a replacement for MonsterInsights. Keep MonsterInsights. Feder does a different job beside it: it reads what your connected apps recorded and compares each number with your own history, so you know when one cannot be trusted.
Why would I need this?
Because the question is not what the number is. It is whether you can trust it.
Is Feder an alternative to MonsterInsights?
No. MonsterInsights is a WordPress plugin that brings Google Analytics into WordPress. Feder does a different job: it watches the numbers your tools record and says when one cannot be trusted. Nothing here asks you to switch.
Do I need Feder if I have MonsterInsights?
They do different jobs, so one does not stand in for the other. Keep MonsterInsights for the job it does. Feder's job is to say when a number your tools record has gone quiet or moved outside your own history.
