# The Google Cloud Run alternative for Server-side Tracking

TAGGRS gives you Server-side Tracking without building, scaling and maintaining your own containers on Google Cloud Run. The best part? TAGGRS is also more affordable.

## Server-side Tracking simplified

### Simple to use

TAGGRS is simple to use and easy to navigate with our intuitive dashboard. We aim to make online tracking as accessible as possible for everyone.

We have simplified Server-side Tracking and guide you every step of the way to optimal settings, through implementation blogs and videos.

### 100% TAGGRS servers, 0% Google infrastructure

What sets TAGGRS apart is our independence. Unlike many, we are not tied to Google’s infrastructure: we run on our own servers, not on Google’s cloud.

This independence gives your tracking a stable foundation for continuous and fast measurement.

## What comes with TAGGRS that a container does not

Cloud Run hosts your tagging server; everything around it is yours to build. With TAGGRS it comes with the account.

- **Analytics and monitoring** See how many events reach your server, how many ad blockers and tracking prevention would have cost you, and how your consent rates break down.
- **Template gallery** Ready-made templates for GA4, Meta, Shopify and more, so a new destination takes a few clicks instead of a custom build.
- **GDPR compliance built in** TAGGRS is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant, and the consent tool is included, so compliance is part of the setup rather than a project of its own.
- **Support from people who know sGTM** Live chat and a help desk on every plan, the free one included, plus setup tutorials for each platform.

## Agencies that moved off Google Cloud

Teams that ran Server-side Tracking on Google Cloud themselves, and why they switched.

> “We were spending quite a bit of time every month maintaining all the Google Cloud implementations. With TAGGRS, once we have a client live, it takes very little time as it's nearly maintenance-free. And, when maintenance is needed, it's usually on the client side rather than the TAGGRS side.”
