- They diverge on capability: June covers B2B analytics, Umami covers Cookie-free tracking.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
June
- The pricing page lists a single all-in-one plan with no price, no minimum and no named cost driver
- There is no startup plan; the vendor states June is a fit for companies with at least $1M of ARR
- Setup fees are charged separately and the vendor states they vary based on implementation complexity
- The vendor states June is a poor fit for products with a large user base but low revenue per user
Umami
- There is no cohort analysis, retention curve, session replay or multi-touch attribution, so a marketing team that needs to justify channel spend will still buy a second tool and Umami becomes a supplementary dashboard.
- Self-hosting is only free in licence terms; you own the database, the upgrades, the backups and the query performance at scale, and a busy site's events table grows quickly enough to need real attention.
- Because it stores no persistent identifier, it cannot follow a user across devices or sessions in any meaningful way, which makes returning-visitor and lifetime-value questions unanswerable by design rather than by omission.
- Cloud overage is billed per event beyond the plan allowance, so a traffic spike or a badly instrumented custom event can produce a bill materially above the $20 or $200 headline before anyone notices.
- It is maintained by a small team, so the pace of new capability is modest and enterprise expectations such as SSO, granular role permissions and formal support agreements are limited compared with commercial analytics vendors.
