Umami Cloud alternative
Glyphex is a hosted web analytics tool for people who like Umami but want a different cloud. Cookieless, hosted at Hetzner in Germany, a tracker of about 2 KB (1.7 KB core), and a free importer for your Umami history.
Why teams look for an Umami Cloud alternative
One EU location
Glyphex stores everything on Hetzner servers in Germany, one EU location with no US servers involved.
Price at your traffic level
Cloud plans are priced by events. Compare the plan for your volume on both pricing pages before you decide.
Monitoring in the same tool
Uptime checks, broken link checks and traffic alerts (from Starter) live next to your reports, so there is one less tool to run.
Insights without digging
A "What changed" card and traffic alerts tell you what moved, without opening six charts.
A different tracker
The Glyphex tracker is about 2 KB (1.7 KB core), MIT licensed and sets no cookies. You can read what runs on your site.
