About Umami

Overview Umami is a privacy-focused web analytics platform that serves as a simple, fast alternative to Google Analytics. It is open source, cookie-free, and designed to be easy to use without collecting personal data or tracking users across websites. Umami is built for website owners, developers, and businesses who want analytics without compromising visitor privacy. It can be self-hosted for free or used through Umami Cloud, a managed hosting service with usage-based pricing. Key Benefits No cookies or personally identifiable information collected, so no cookie consent banners are needed. Fully GDPR and CCPA compliant with all data anonymized by default. Self-hosted version is free and open source with no vendor lock-in — all data can be exported at any time. Usage-based pricing starts at $0/month for up to 100K events with no long-term contracts. Servers located in the US and EU adhering to data protection regulations. How It Works You add a small tracking script to your website, and Umami counts pageviews and custom events without using cookies or collecting personal data. You monitor your usage from the Umami Cloud dashboard, and if you exceed your plan's event limit, additional events are billed at a per-event rate without interrupting data collection. Use Cases Privacy-conscious website owners who want analytics without cookie consent banners or personal data collection. Developers who prefer an open-source, self-hosted analytics solution with full data ownership and no vendor lock-in. Small business owners who need simple, fast analytics with a free tier for up to 100K monthly events. Enterprise teams requiring SAML SSO, custom data retention, uptime SLAs, and dedicated support. Marketing teams who need advanced reports like funnel analysis, user retention, attribution, and revenue tracking. Why Choose This Product Umami is best suited for anyone who wants privacy-compliant web analytics without the complexity and data collection of traditional tools like Google Analytics. The self-hosted version is free and open source, while Umami Cloud offers managed hosting with additional features like email reports, session replays, heatmaps, and streaming API for teams that need them.
