It doesn't need to be free, but what are some good ones?

How to integrate with mybb, as well?? Big Grin
What do you mean by "better?" Google Analytics is probably the best traffic tracking service out there, and you can easily integrate it with MyBB. What do you not like about it?
Piwik. Not much better imo, but it's great when you get it working: http://piwik.org
http://www.reinvigorate.net/ and http://haveamint.com/

Have always looked nice to me. But, google analytics has been enough for all my projects.
AWstats?
Nothing is better. I've used a few stats packages and before Analytics stats programs sucked in general. I don't suggest you use anything else. Even though it's free it's still better than almost all other paid stats programs.

There are some professional stat suites but really...they aren't much more than what Analytics is now. They are also enterprise grade and very expensive.

That is what I've used. I like it A LOT. It is much, much cleaner than Google Analytics. Analytics is almost unusable to me. Maybe I'm not doing it right???

.... And yes, I've been thinking about Piwik. Just haven't switched over yet.
You must not be doing it right. Google easily has the best in the business.
Just from a few seconds on the StatCounter demo I can tell it's horrible. Google Analytics interface is easily pushing 11 compared to that, not to mention it gathers a BUNCH more data.
