Umami Alternatives
Umami is a favorite among developers for good reason. It is open source, self-hosted and privacy-first. If you want the same values with a hosted option, a first-class API or native agent support, it is worth seeing the alternatives.
What developers ask for next
- A managed cloud tier so you do not have to run it yourself.
- A documented REST API for dashboards and automation.
- Tooling that AI agents can call directly.
The alternatives
- YourTraffic. Open-source and cookie-free like Umami, plus a hosted option, a REST API and a native MCP server. Unlimited projects.
- Plausible. Hosted and simple, community edition available.
- Matomo. Feature-rich but heavier to run.
- Simple Analytics. Minimal and hosted.
Why YourTraffic is the natural upgrade
YourTraffic keeps the parts developers like about Umami, an open license, self-hosting and a Postgres backend, then adds the pieces you usually have to build yourself. The REST API is documented and ready, so pulling stats into a dashboard or a script is a Bearer token away.
The native MCP server is the real differentiator. Point an AI agent at your instance and it can read your traffic on demand through OAuth, no API key juggling required. Run it yourself for free or let the cloud handle it.
