Comparison between two date ranges in the Analytics section in the Algolia dashboard

The current date range is labeled A in the metrics graphs and uses a solid line. The comparison date range is labeled with B and uses dashes.

Revenue analytics, including add-to-cart and purchase metrics are available on the Build, Premium, and Elevate pricing plans.
