Yes. PostHog, Plausible are open source and can be self-hosted. This means zero vendor lock-in, but you take on operational responsibility.

Why would I switch from Umami?

The most common reasons: cost (scaling Umami becomes expensive), vendor lock-in (you want portability), feature gaps (another tool does your specific use case better), or compliance (data residency, self-hosting). The alternatives above address one or more of these.

How hard is it to migrate away from Umami?

Migration difficulty scales with how much Umami-specific surface area you use. A shallow integration is a few hours; a deep one with custom SDKs, webhooks, and proprietary data types can take weeks. Start by listing every Umami API or feature your app calls, then map each to the replacement.
