Mitr Analytics vs Umami
Umami's biggest advantage is real and worth saying up front: it's open source and free to self-host, forever, with no vendor dependency. If that matters most to you, Umami may be the right answer regardless of anything else on this page.

Choose Umami if…
- You want to self-host and own your data infrastructure end-to-end, with no ongoing SaaS dependency.
- You're comfortable running and maintaining a Node + Postgres deployment (or paying someone to).
- You only need web analytics, not mobile/Flutter app tracking.
Choose Mitr if…
- You'd rather not run your own analytics infrastructure at all.
- You're building a Flutter app and want the same SDK family and dashboard as your website.
- You want a managed free tier without configuring a database or Docker deployment.
What's the same either way
Both are genuinely privacy-first: no cookies, no cross-site tracking. If your primary requirement is "no cookies, no consent banner," either tool satisfies it — the real decision is whether you want to operate infrastructure yourself (Umami's strength) or hand that off entirely (Mitr's model).
