You're definitely always going to see differences in data as they all will have their own algorithms for filtering out data. Even google isn't perfect, it might even be overzealous at times.

GA really gives you a lot more info, including letting you know what's most certainly bot traffic or not. Most bot traffic seems to always come from the same cities in the US (like Ashburn, Virginia and Boardman, Oregon, for example).
I barely check out the views tab at Dan now that I use GA, although i just compared the most recent views between both GA and Dan's interface and it doesn't quite check out. I can only assume Dan is a little delayed because GA can show you visitors in real time and the exact time of day a person visited.
Edit: Oddly enough, I also see a recent visit on Dan's interface that doesn't show at all on my GA.

The craziest thing is seeing that a huge percentage of all traffic is hackers looking for ways to exploit you, as well as so many bots. So the Dan "recent views" are a similar thing, but I'm sure they're filtering out (to the best they can) all the bots and hacker traffic.
Anyone want to play a game? Look at your Dan stats and post the domain of your most recent visit.
