Website Statistics alternatives are worth considering when the incumbent gets expensive, restrictive, or invasive.

Umami is a simple, fast, privacy-focused alternative to Google Analytics. It is a fully open source self-hosted web analytics solution.

Why consider the swap

If you currently rely on Google Analytics and want more control over data, lower long-term costs, or a privacy-friendly licensing model, umami covers most of the same ground.

What you trade off

Most privacy-friendly alternatives require more setup than their commercial counterparts and may lag on polish, mobile apps, or ecosystem integrations. Check the project’s documentation for current feature parity with Google Analytics before committing.
