When comparing event counts between Statsig and GA4, it is important to consider the potential for discrepancies due to time zone differences.
Statsig operates on a default day that starts at GMT-8 (Pacific Standard Time) and maintains this standard throughout the year, without adjusting for daylight savings time. This can lead to differences in daily event counts when compared to other platforms that may use different time zones for their reporting.
Additionally, the methodologies for logging and processing events can vary between Statsig and GA4, which might contribute to the observed discrepancies. It is also crucial to check for any filters or exclusions that may be applied within either platform, as these can affect the event counts.
If discrepancies continue to be significant, a thorough review of the event logging code is recommended to ensure that events are being logged accurately and consistently across both platforms. In cases where the issue persists, reaching out to the Statsig support team for further assistance is advised.
