Comparison

Aptabase vs Umami

Aptabase and Umami both offer privacy-first analytics without cookies, and both are open source. They aim at different products.

Aptabase focuses on mobile, desktop and game apps. It ships SDKs for 17 platforms, including Swift, Kotlin, Flutter and Unity, and tracks only the events a developer sends. Umami starts from the website. Its tracker script records pageviews at once, and it adds funnels, retention and UTM tracking. It can be self-hosted or used as Umami Cloud.

Which one fits

Aptabase is the better fit for indie developers and studios shipping native or game apps who want anonymous event counts. Its free tier covers 20,000 events a month, and paid plans start at $10 with no overage fees. Umami fits teams that run websites or web products and need pageviews, funnels, cohorts and retention. Its Hobby plan is free for 100K events, and session replay needs a Business plan.
