    Feature wise Google Analytic is better. It gives a proper diagnosis of the website that helps in increasing the overall functionality.

    I love statcounter because its easier to drill down to the details of each visitor. I don't find much difference between the overall stats though!

    GA is the best, but if you need live traffic details, you can try statcounter.

    If you have AdSense on your site, you may want to use Google Analytics because you can integrate the stats together with your AdSense account, and it'll give you useful revenue-related information. I find this insightful.

    Google analytics is simple and straightforward, there isn't a detail of information they leave out.

    Both is free,
    And both have each excess.

    Google analitics give more information.
    But, Stats counter gives u notification directly to your email.

    May it is useful.

    6 months back, I too tried with both the analytics.
    statcounter gave better results when compared to GA in reporting.
    So, presently using the services of Statcounter alone.
