The comparison

Side by side, on the first paid plan

What each first paid plan includes, with the free tier where it differs.

What matters	SGTM.space	Stape	Why it matters
First paid plan	Starter, $14 a month	Pro, $20 a month	A lower entry price for the same server container.
Requests on that plan	600,000 a month	500,000 a month	100,000 more requests every month before you need the next tier.
Free plan	15,000 requests a month, no card, no time limit	10,000 requests a month	Room to test on real traffic, or to run a small site for free.
First-party loader	Better Loader on every plan, free included. You keep your existing script name.	Custom Loader on every plan, free included	Serving gtm.js from your own domain stops ad blockers erasing your data. Switching does not touch your site.
Longer-lived cookies	Cookie Extender from the first paid plan (Starter)	Cookie Keeper from the first paid plan (Pro), custom cookies from Business	Both re-issue the cookies your tags already set from the tagging domain, up to each vendor's own lifetime. The difference is the price of the plan that includes it.
Bot filtering	Edge bot filtering from the first paid plan. Switch it on and the hits it blocks are not counted toward your plan.	Bot detection from the first paid plan (Pro)	Available on both sides. On SGTM.space, a blocked bot does not use up a request once the filter is on.
Visitor context for your tags	Request Enricher from the first paid plan: country, device, browser, time zone and more, as request headers	Enricher from Business	Same idea; on SGTM.space it starts at the first paid plan rather than at Business.
Request history	Daily request counts for the whole billing period, with bots split out. No per-request log.	Per-request logs: 3 days on Pro, 10 on Business	Two different tools: a period-long daily view here, a short per-request log there. Pick the one your debugging needs.
Server location	Europe (Belgium), US East or Asia (Singapore), your choice per container, on every plan	More than ten locations worldwide, multi-zone routing from Business	Pick the region closest to your visitors. Stape offers more locations; SGTM.space keeps the choice on every plan, free included.
GTM compatibility	Standard server GTM. Every Community Gallery template works unchanged.	Standard server GTM	Nothing to rebuild: your web and server containers stay exactly as they are.

How to switch

Switch from Stape without touching your site

Your web container, your server container and the snippet on your pages stay as they are. Only DNS changes.

1
Create your container

Paste the server container config from Google Tag Manager, enter the tagging subdomain you use today and pick a region. It takes a couple of minutes.
2
Keep your loader script name

Turn on Better Loader and enter the script name Stape serves for you now, so the snippet on your site keeps working. Then add the two CNAME records we show you.
3
Point DNS at us and cancel Stape

Once your certificate is active, switch the records. Tracking carries on from the moment DNS updates, and your Stape plan can end at the close of its period.

Start free, no card needed

What you get

What changes when you switch

Pay for infrastructure only

We price the server container and the edge services around it, and nothing else. That is what keeps the first paid plan cheap and its request allowance high.

Cleaner numbers, one switch away

Switch on bot filtering and clearly automated traffic is turned away at the edge before it reaches your container or your reports. Cookie Extender and Request Enricher come with every paid plan, not the tier above.

A bill you can predict

One flat monthly price per container, with the request allowance stated up front. When you outgrow it, upgrade in a click and the change is prorated.

FAQ

Before you switch

Will my Meta CAPI, GA4 and Google Ads tags keep working?

Yes. This is the standard Google server-side container. Every tag, client and variable, including Community Gallery templates, runs exactly as it does today.

Will I lose data during the move?

No. You set up the container and verify DNS while Stape keeps serving traffic, then switch the CNAME records. Requests reach whichever endpoint DNS points to, so there is no gap.

Why is it cheaper?

Requests are handled by an edge worker and a container that scales with your traffic. We sell that and nothing else, so the price follows the cost of running it.

Do I need a card to start?

No. The free plan gives you one active container and 15,000 requests a month, with no card and no time limit.

What counts as a request?

Every request your container answers that came from your own site, tracking hits and the loader script alike. Hits from other domains are not counted, and once you switch on bot filtering, the traffic it turns away stops counting too.
