Who it's not for	Privacy-conscious users	Privacy-sensitive users
Privacy	Checkered: 2017 location-data scandal plus a 2025 XSS CVE in its RSS widget.^³	History of major breaches (2013, 2018, 2019) plus recent CVEs; advisories actively published.
Support quality	No usable support evidence in sources	Business side rated 1.3/5 on Trustpilot
Public sentiment	Opinions are mixed: users like the radar and hourly detail but question accuracy, consistency, and the paid tiers.¹¹	Users rate the business side poorly while consumer reach and scale remain unmatched.¹⁵
Biggest gotcha	2017 location-data scandal: shared location with a monetization firm despite opt-out; practices changed only after EPIC suit in 2019^⁵	Ad pricing is auction-based and unpredictable; advertisers report unexplained high charges
