  Hey garypthomas1989,

  You’re right. You can’t add any third party codes to the website until you have a Business Plan.

  To maintain a secure environment, it’s important. Although you can monitor your website using the WordPress.com’s stats.

  Hello there, while only the Business plan upgrade enables you to activate Google Analytics on your WordPressdotcom site, it’s also possible to connect Google Search Console through Webmaster Tools under any plan, including free. https://en.support.wordpress.com/verifying-your-domain-with-google/
