# Trafficsort vs GoAccess

> GoAccess is great for one server. Here is what Trafficsort adds for many sites: verified bots, fake-bot detection, alerts, cost per bot and safe blocking.

## When GoAccess is the better choice

- You run one or two sites on one server.
- You want a live terminal dashboard.
- You don't want any data to leave your server.
- You only need traffic totals, not bot verification.

## What Trafficsort adds

- Every crawler's claim checked against the operator's official IP list, so fake Googlebots and GPTBots are flagged.
- AI crawlers split into training, search and user fetches, which is the split that decides what to block.
- Bandwidth and cost per bot in euros.
- A weekly digest and alerts for new bots and crawl spikes.
- Safe nginx blocking presets with a dry run and kill switch.
- One dashboard for up to 20 sites.

## Use both

Many people will keep GoAccess for a live view on one box and use Trafficsort across all their sites. Setting up GoAccess properly? [Our guide covers it](https://trafficsort.io/blog/goaccess-nginx-setup/).
