I have been using SmarterTool's SmarterStats for a couple of days now. It is a pretty good tool for reporting on some common web statistics. It is free for one site and about $200 for up to 50 sites, which is not a bad price. The cheap part of me knows I only need it for a couple of domains, so I would love to see a 10 site/$50 license, but I understand why SmarterTool's would want to keep things simple.

At the moment, my only major complaint would be that either by default (or via configuration) when I select a report, it should be displayed right away. They way it works now is you select a report, you go to the report page, and click "get report". I guess it is set up this way so yo can customize the results, but I personally think it makes more sense to run the report by the default settings and allow the user to re-run the report with any changes from the defaults.

If you are not using any stats tools (or are unhappy with what you are using) I would recommend trying them out.

BTW, This is the first stats tool I have come across that is written in ASP.NET/C#.
