What is Umami?

Umami counts page views, visitors, referrers, campaigns, events and conversions without cookies, and shows them on one clean dashboard. You add a single script tag to your site, and the data goes to your own server with a PostgreSQL database, or to Umami Cloud. Version 3 added saved segments, cohorts, short tracked links and tracking pixels for emails.

Good fit if

  • You want clear traffic numbers for one or many sites without handing visitor data to an ad company.
  • You want a small setup: the app and a PostgreSQL database are all it needs.
  • Your team works in other languages: the interface is translated into dozens of them.

Look elsewhere if

  • You need full product analytics with session replay and feature flags: PostHog covers that, with a much heavier setup.
  • Your servers run MySQL: since version 3, Umami supports only PostgreSQL.

Before you adopt it

Umami is MIT-licensed, and nothing in the repository is paywalled; the company behind it sells the hosted cloud version. Running without cookies often means you don't need a consent banner, but that depends on your country and your setup, so check it for your case. About three quarters of recent commits come from one maintainer.
