Leaving Plausible Analytics (Cloud)
3 routes out, priced honestly — including the hours it would cost you.
We have priced 3 alternatives to Plausible Analytics (Cloud) on Business. None of them beat paying Plausible Analytics (Cloud) once your own time is counted, which is worth knowing before you spend a weekend finding out.
Not worth leaving for
Running these yourself costs more than the subscription once your hours are counted.
- Plausible Community Edition Business, 1 seat · $693/yr self-hosted —stay
- Matomo Business, 1 seat · $725/yr self-hosted · $2.70/mo managed $7.36stay
- Umami Business, 1 seat · $302/yr self-hosted · $2.80/mo managed $28.68stay
Unless somebody else runs it
2 of those changes answer if you pay a managed host instead of running a server: Matomo from $2.70 a month, Umami from $2.80 a month. That removes the upkeep hours entirely, which is what made the arithmetic fail.
The short version
- Cheapest to run: Umami at $302 a year, against $228 for Plausible Analytics (Cloud) Business at 1 seat.
- Tolerates the most expensive hour: Umami, worth doing unless your time is worth more than $28.68 an hour.
- Every figure assumes 36 months and a $50 hour. Each comparison lets you set both, and your team size.
