Agreed with everyone above - I've created a VERY basic splash page for a new business and don't think it should be required to upgrade my account in order to simply link to Google Analytics.
This is likely a very basic question, but does anyone know how to go back and change the Google Analytics account structure/type so it's not GA4? Is it even possible? I just set my account up, so there is no historical data, but I can't seem to figure out how I would have set things up differently that would have allowed for the older version.
