Matomo

Privacy-focused web analytics

Overview

What Matomo does

Matomo is an open-source web analytics platform that gives you complete control over your data.

What people use it for

  • Privacy focused web analytics as an alternative to Google Analytics
  • Self hosting analytics so visitor data stays on owned infrastructure

The honest half

Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Matomo.

  • The self hosted Community Edition is free but excludes A/B testing, heatmaps, session recording, cohorts, crash analytics and multi channel attribution, all of which are paid plugins
  • Premium plugin bundles for self hosted installs run from 275 EUR a month for 4 users to 3,400 EUR for 50
  • Cloud pricing is banded by monthly hits, and anything above 10 million requires contacting sales
  • Self hosting places all operation and upgrades on the operator while still needing paid plugins for the advanced features

Softwr does not host reviews and shows no star rating for Matomo, because a rating we did not collect is not ours to publish. What is here is the pricing and platform detail from the vendor’s own pages, limitations we could state concretely, and alternatives a reviewer confirmed people weigh against it.
