JAMP vs Umami
Umami is a lovely open-source, cookieless analytics tool you can self-host. JAMP keeps the same privacy-first analytics as a fully managed service, with no database to run, and adds uptime, error tracking and real-user vitals on top.

Why teams choose JAMP over Umami
Managed, not maintained
Self-hosting Umami means running and updating a database and app yourself. JAMP is fully hosted, so you add a script and you are done.
Monitoring is built in
Umami is analytics only. JAMP watches uptime, catches JavaScript errors with source-mapped stack traces, and tracks real-user vitals in the same dashboard.
Same privacy stance
You keep the cookieless, no-banner analytics you like about Umami, with EU-hosted data and no sampling.
In fairness
Umami is open-source, lightweight and self-hostable, which is ideal if you want full control of your data and do not mind running it. If self-hosting is a feature for you rather than a chore, Umami is a great pick.
