Why do Analytics and GSC contradict each other?

Hi guys,

I have encountered an interesting phenomenon: the results concerning SEO traffic in Analytics and GSC do not match - they contradict each other directly in my opinion. But I will let the diagramms speak:

GSC:
GSC.png

This is a screenshot from GSC showing beginn of may to end of august. Clearly may traffic is more than august.

Analytics:
Analytics.png

In contrast to the GSC results Analytics shows plenty more organic traffic in august than in may.

How on earth does that make sense?! I would be glad to get any hint that can dissolve my confusion.

Best regards
ElCamino
 
I have encountered the same issue...GSC tends to under-report organic clicks (or something). I personally choose to rely more on Analytics, I tend to think it's more accurate. As for GSC I use it to monitor backlinks, disavow, and to monitor which keywords I am ranking for etc.
 
Thanks for your reply, Konyagi. I could deal with Analytics showing more traffic than GSC. But contradiciting tendencies leave me puzzled.
