They both have the same basic layout, but ShortStat used PHP to track visits where as Mint uses javascript, so essentially Mint only records visits from humans (with javascript enabled) whereas my ShortStat reports were constantly being flooded by spiders, bots, etc. Without ShortStat, there probably would have never been a Mint. Of course, a lot of long-time ShortStat users were upset by the addition of a price tag, but most of them came around eventually. It's well-worth the $30.

I decided to "upgrade" to Mint when it was released because of its unbeatable interface and the ability to extend its functionality. I have to agree, it's "one of the best stats programs out there."
