Hi there:
All statistics tracking plugins collect and report information differently. For example, Jetpack’s stats do not include the visits from logged-in users, by default. Many bloggers find this very useful, since your own visits may artificially inflate your traffic counts. If you’d like to count visits from logged-in users on your site, you can modify that setting under Jetpack > Settings > WordPress.com Stats. That might be one explanation for the variance between your other tracking plugins and Jetpack.
Jetpack also does not report visits in real-time; there is a bit of a lag between when visits occur, and when they are reported in your stats. Additionally, there are certain search engine robots and spiders that Jetpack doesn’t count, and referrers that are considered spam referrers by Akismet (our spam catcher) will not be reported in your stats. Other tracking plugins may be less discerning in what they count toward the stats they report to you, and therefore give you greater numbers.
Since all plugins use different tracking methods, they will rarely, if ever, be perfectly synced in what they report. The benefit of using Jetpack’s stats is that you can see a snapshot of your blog’s activity right from your Dashboard. If you want to use another analytics service that gives you different features, you certainly can! Jetpack’s stats work great alongside Google Analytics and other stats-tracking services. You may find it worthwhile to use tracking data from a variety of plugins to develop a broad picture of your visitors’ behavior.
If you have further questions, reach out to Jetpack support.
Thanks!
