How does statpx compare to Umami?

Both are free analytics tools.

Q: Do I need to set up a server to use statpx?

No. statpx is a fully hosted service. You sign up, add one script tag to your site, and start tracking — no server, no database, no deployment pipeline. Umami requires you to provision and maintain a database + Node.js server or use their paid cloud hosting.

Setup & cost

Both free — but one needs a server.

*Requires a VPS or PaaS (~$5–$20/mo) + setup time. Cloud plan: $9/mo.

Umami's self-hosted edition is MIT-licensed and free — but it requires provisioning a database, deploying a Node.js app, and maintaining the infrastructure. statpx works as soon as you paste one script tag.

Questions

Common questions

Do I need to set up a server to use statpx?

No. statpx is fully hosted — create an account, paste one script tag into your site's HTML, and you're tracking. There's no database to configure, no Node.js app to deploy, and no VPS to maintain. Umami requires all of that for the self-hosted edition.

Is Umami really free?

Umami's self-hosted edition is free to download (MIT license), but you need to run it somewhere — a VPS typically costs $5–$20/month, and you're responsible for uptime, backups, and updates. Umami's official cloud hosting starts at $9/month. statpx is free with no server or maintenance required.

What does statpx have that Umami doesn't?

statpx adds: click heatmaps, form analytics, e-commerce revenue dashboard, retention cohort analysis, page flow, scroll depth, Core Web Vitals, Google Search Console integration, chart annotations, traffic spike alerts, individual visitor logs, and a weekly email digest — none of which are in Umami's current feature set.

When should I choose Umami over statpx?

Choose Umami if data sovereignty is a hard requirement — for example, if your data must stay on infrastructure you fully control for compliance or legal reasons. Umami's MIT license also allows you to modify and redistribute the code freely, which matters for certain enterprise or institutional contexts.
