Where Umami is the better choice

- You need session replay or heatmaps (Umami Business), revenue tracking, segments or user journeys.
- You want to choose between US and EU hosting.
Switch from Umami
Add your site, then replace the Umami script with the tracking script from your site settings:
<script
async
src="https://clicktag.io/latest.js"
data-hostname="example.com"
data-verify="YOUR_SITE_VERIFY_TOKEN"
></script>
Replace umami.track("signup") calls with window.tt_event("signup"). Umami history can't be imported.
FAQ
Can I import my Umami data?
No. Clicktag only imports Simple Analytics CSV exports.
How does Clicktag count without cookies?
A visit counts when someone enters your site. Live visitors, events and goals use a hash of the IP address and user agent with a salt that changes every UTC day and is then deleted. IP addresses are never stored.
Which backends does the API monitoring support?
Hono, Express, Fastify, Next.js route handlers and Cloudflare Workers through the totallytics npm package, and Go 1.22+ with modules for chi, gin and echo.
