Cost reality
Self-host free; Umami Cloud has paid plans—check official pricing.
Pricing and free-tier limits change frequently; re-check official pricing before budget decisions.
Tasks reduced or augmented
Software does not replace community or ops staff. It may reduce or augment:
- Measuring landing-page conversion funnels
- Reducing reliance on invasive analytics
Human oversight still needed
- Cookie/consent policy alignment
- Access to analytics dashboards
Data held
-
pageviews
-
events
-
device/browser metadata
-
Personal data: no / limited
-
Payment data: no / not primary
Risks
| Area | Notes |
|---|---|
| Vendor lock-in | Evaluate export formats and API completeness before deep customization. |
| Security | Apply updates promptly; restrict admin access; enable TLS. |
| Compliance | Operator remains responsible for privacy and local regulatory obligations. |
| Licensing | Confirm license fits commercial coworking use. |
| Operational | Plan backups, monitoring, and a restore drill before production use. |
