Seline and Umami are both popular choices in the analytics category, but they serve different types of developers. Seline is cookieless, EU-hosted analytics with a ~2kb script, covering page views, custom events, funnels, and revenue tracking (Stripe, Polar, Shopify), plus an AI query interface. Meanwhile, Umami is free, open-source, self-hosted web analytics that respects privacy with a clean dashboard and minimal tracking script.
From a cost perspective, Umami has the edge with a free tier available, whereas Seline starts at Pro plan. However, Seline's paid offering may deliver more value depending on your specific needs.
Seline stands out with Cookieless (no consent banner) and ~2kb script, while Umami differentiates itself through Self-hostable and Privacy-focused. The right choice depends on which capabilities matter most for your workflow. Ultimately, small SaaS and stores that want privacy-first analytics with revenue and event tracking, not just pageviews, while Umami is best for developers who want free, self-hosted analytics with a beautiful interface and zero tracking concerns.
