Lomen vs Umami

Umami can do more, and you can host it yourself. Lomen does less, on purpose. Here is where each one is the better pick.

Umami is open-source, cookie-free analytics that you can host yourself for free or use as a cloud service, with goals, funnels and custom events. Lomen is a hosted service that does less on purpose: cookie-free counting with nothing to configure, an AI you can ask about your numbers in plain words, your income drawn next to your visitors, and your YouTube videos lined up with the traffic they brought.

Sample answer

Why did I earn more last weekend?

Saturday had fewer visitors than your weekdays, but it was your best sales day of the month. Fewer people came, but more of them bought, so the quiet day on your traffic chart was not a quiet day for your income.
