: Should I have separate properties in Google Analytics for www.mysaas.com and app.mysaas.com? I want to add both my website www.mysaas.com and the web application app.mysaas.com to Google Analytics.

Putting both other the same property allows you to view the stats together. That is usually desirable when the two:


are about the same subject
link to each other
are run by the same people or company
have the same people that want to see the stats


If you put them on separate properties you will never be able to view the stats together. Conversely, as you state in the question, you can add multiple views with filters to see the two separately even if they share a property. You can also create "advanced segments" to see one or the other from the main unfiltered view.
