PageHum vs Umami
Umami suits
Owners who want generous free analytics with funnels and Web Vitals, or want to host it themselves.
PageHum suits
A small site’s owner who wants traffic, speed, errors, broken links, uptime, and a status page from one script, and the one problem worth fixing named each week.

Where Umami is better
- A bigger free allowance (100,000 events against 40,000 pageviews).
- Funnels, journeys, and retention even on the free plan; replays and heatmaps higher up.
- Open source, so it can be self-hosted.
Where PageHum is better
- Uptime from several regions, page checks, browser flows, and a status page.
- Client error counts and broken links, with an AI prompt to fix each.
- Cheaper paid plans ($9 against $20) for small sites.
What PageHum doesn’t do
- No session replay or heatmaps.
- Counts only: no per-visitor paths, user profiles, or cohorts.
- One funnel per site, not many.
- No stack traces: error messages, pages, browsers, and counts.
- Homepage checks every 5 minutes, and no SMS or phone alerts yet.
- Young: launched in 2026, so a short track record and short histories.
