About

What is Umami?

Umami is a fast, privacy-focused open-source web analytics tool that is easy to self-host and completely free. Inspired by the simplicity of Plausible, Umami stores data in your own PostgreSQL or MySQL database and provides clean dashboards with pageviews, sessions, top pages, referrers, devices, and custom events. With one-click deployment to Vercel or Railway and a growing Umami Cloud offering, it is the most developer-friendly self-hosted Google Analytics alternative.
