3. Matomo

  • More feature-rich, self-hosted or cloud
  • Strong UTM/campaign tracking
  • Highly exportable reports
  • Better if you want control and customization
  • Slightly heavier than Plausible/Fathom

4. Umami

For creator funnels specifically

If your goal is to track:

  • link-in-bio traffic
  • newsletter signups
  • course sales
  • affiliate conversions
  • podcast or YouTube campaign links

then Plausible or Matomo are usually the strongest choices:

  • Plausible if you want simple, clean, privacy-first reporting
  • Matomo if you want deeper reporting and more advanced exports

What to check before choosing

Make sure the tool supports:

  • UTM source / medium / campaign reporting
  • CSV or PDF exports
  • multiple domains or subdomains
  • conversion/goals tracking
  • GDPR-friendly or cookie-less operation
  • referral exclusion and link tracking

My quick recommendation

  • Best balance: Plausible
  • Most control: Matomo
  • Simplest setup: Fathom
