The Verdict
Taiga is built for agile teams and open source advocates, with a focus on scrum-boards and kanban. Umami targets indie developers and privacy focused sites and leads with page-views and custom-events.
Pricing is close: Taiga starts at $5/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 Taiga takes a more focused approach — which can mean a simpler, faster onboarding experience.
Bottom line: Umami has a slight overall edge — but if fully open-source and self-hostable matters most to you, Taiga may still be the right call.
