The Verdict
Huly is built for startups and open source teams, with a focus on issue-tracking and team-planner. 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 $15/mo for Huly. That $6/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.
Umami edges out on user ratings (4.5 vs 4.1). While both are well-regarded, that gap reflects real differences in user satisfaction worth considering.
Feature-wise, Umami offers broader built-in capabilities (7 features vs 6), while Huly takes a more focused approach — which can mean a simpler, faster onboarding experience.
Bottom line: Umami has a slight overall edge — but if open-source with self-hosting option matters most to you, Huly may still be the right call.
