The Verdict
Documenso is built for startups and freelancers, with a focus on e-signatures and templates. Umami targets indie developers and privacy focused sites and leads with page-views and custom-events.
On pricing, Umami is the clear winner for budget-conscious users — starting at $9/mo compared to $30/mo for Documenso. That $21/mo difference adds up quickly for growing teams.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Bottom line: Umami has a slight overall edge — but if open-source with self-hosting option matters most to you, Documenso may still be the right call.
