The Verdict
SeaTable is built for privacy conscious teams and european companies, with a focus on spreadsheet-interface and python-scripting. Umami targets indie developers and privacy focused sites and leads with page-views and custom-events.
Pricing is close: SeaTable starts at $7/mo versus $9/mo for Umami — not a deciding factor on its own.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Feature-wise, Umami offers broader built-in capabilities (7 features vs 6), while SeaTable takes a more focused approach — which can mean a simpler, faster onboarding experience.
Bottom line: Umami has a slight overall edge — but if self-hostable with docker matters most to you, SeaTable may still be the right call.
