the verdict →
Exactly Umami, except the cloud engineer is now you and Docker gets a vote.
the catchIt is the same open-source core, but uptime, backups, upgrades and capacity planning move from Umami's team to the user.
the verdict →all Umami Cloud alternatives →
Privacy analytics without cookies, personal profiles or a monthly invoice.
the catchIt exposes more configuration and dashboard complexity while offering fewer of Simple Analytics' reporting conveniences.
the verdict →all Simple Analytics alternatives →
Simple privacy analytics with enough events and goals to avoid paying for simplicity.
the catchIt is less deliberately minimal and, when self-hosted, lacks Fathom's managed reliability and support.
the verdict →all Fathom Analytics alternatives →
The closest broad substitute: simple traffic analytics, events and goals with your data attached.
the catchIt is the closest broad substitute, but its conversion, revenue and reporting workflow is less mature and opinionated than Plausible's.
the verdict →all Plausible alternatives →
Campaigns, conversions and revenue in one dashboard, with attribution that does not require a spreadsheet séance.
the verdict →
Cookieless page views and custom events with a compact dashboard and no hosted meter.
the catchIt has less emphasis on server-side collection and a less compact API workflow than Pirsch, while self-hosting adds operations.
the verdict →all Pirsch alternatives →
Funnels, cohorts and retention without turning the analytics stack into a second product.
the catchIt is far shallower for cohorts, retention, experimentation, taxonomy governance and behavioral analysis than Amplitude.
the verdict →all Amplitude alternatives →
Funnels, cohorts and retention locally, without the enterprise taxonomy workshop.
the catchIts identity, cohort, retention, governance and experimentation capabilities are far shallower than Mixpanel's.
the verdict →all Mixpanel alternatives →
Small, explicit event analytics with funnels and retention, hosted on infrastructure you control.
the catchIt is lightweight explicit-event analytics with no equivalent to Heap's automatic capture and retroactive history.
the verdict →all Heap alternatives →
A clean cookieless dashboard, minus Cabin's hosting bill.
the catchIt is broader and more configurable than Cabin, but that also brings a busier dashboard and more maintenance on the free path.
the verdict →all Cabin alternatives →last updated 2026-08-10 · up to $1,260/yr replaced · no votes, no pay-to-list
