Pros
Cons
Matomo is the right choice for teams that prioritise self-hostable above everything else — the dimension where Matomo scores highest. Skip it if ease of use is a hard requirement for you, since Matomo scores only 62/100 there — in that case, the analytics category page ranks every alternative by that specific dimension so you can find a closer fit. For most other use cases, the 78/100 overall score reflects a tool that holds up well in day-to-day use.
