Can I migrate from Umami?

Yes. Swap the script for the key and Umami events become doorbells. Since the Umami database is yours, you can keep the history; the pisi.to importer is on the way.

Do I need a banner with pisi.to?

No. Neither with Umami nor with pisi.to: neither stores cookies or identifiers in the browser, and pisi.to stores no IP addresses.

What do I lose compared with Umami?

Open source and total control: with self-hosted Umami the data sits on your machine and you pay nothing. pisi.to cannot be self-hosted and has a monthly fee.

Is Umami really free?

The software is. What costs is the server, the database and the time to maintain it. Their cloud version is paid; the price is on their website.

When to choose Umami

Choose Umami if you like hosting your own things: it is free, open source under MIT, runs anywhere with Node and a database, and the data never leaves your server. If you already have infrastructure and someone to look after it, it is hard to beat.

When to choose pisi.to

Choose pisi.to if you do not want to maintain a server, upgrade versions or think about backups. Add one line, the data lives in the EU, and you get time and scroll per route, geography with a local database and public dashboards without configuring anything.
