What it is

An MIT-licensed cookieless analytics app you can run on your own Postgres or MySQL server, or use as a hosted cloud service. It tracks pageviews, referrers, custom events and simple funnels. Because it stores no personal data and sets no cookies, no consent banner is required.

Why it earns a slot

The most permissively licensed option on this list. MIT means you can fork it, rebrand it and run it on a $5 VPS forever, and the cloud free tier is genuinely usable.

Know before you commit

Self-hosting means you own upgrades, backups and a Postgres table that grows fast with event volume. Cloud Hobby retention is only 6 months and the next step up is a $20/mo jump.

Getting started

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 ghcr.io/umami-software/umami:postgresql-latest
