Should I use Umami?

Understand traffic, campaigns, behavior, conversions, and revenue in one privacy-first, open-source analytics platform. Self-host or use Umami Cloud. - umami.is

Low confidence: only Umami's own pages were reviewed, so pricing and support are unverified. Buy if you want privacy-first, open-source analytics and can self-host; skip if you need verified reviews or published pricing.
