Why Use This Self-Hosting Cost Calculator?

If you’re considering self-hosting Umami Analytics, one of the first questions you’ll face is: Which VPS provider should I choose, and how much will it actually cost? Self-hosting requires a Linux server with Docker and PostgreSQL — typically on a VPS from providers like Hetzner, DigitalOcean, AWS, Netcup, and others. While each provider offers a range of plans, it can be time-consuming to compare pricing side by side.

This calculator aggregates the latest pricing from the most popular VPS providers and shows you at a glance the monthly server cost for each plan. Whether you need minimal resources (2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM) or a high-performance setup (more vCPU or RAM capacity), you can quickly see how much it will cost to host Umami on your own server.

Self-Hosted vs. Managed Umami: Cost Comparison

Self-hosting Umami can cost anywhere from about $4.50 to over $80 per month (and more for high-spec plans), depending on the VPS plan you choose. In addition to the monthly server fee, self-hosting requires your time and expertise for setup, maintenance, updates, backups, and monitoring.

UmamiEngine provides managed Umami hosting for a flat $5 per month, covering all infrastructure, updates, backups, and SSL management — with zero DevOps required. For most websites, managed hosting is not only more convenient but also cheaper when you factor in operational overhead and your own time.

Use the calculator above to find a VPS plan that matches your needed RAM, vCPUs, and storage. Then compare the monthly cost with UmamiEngine's $5 per month managed service. You’ll usually see immediate savings — and the more powerful the VPS plan, the more you save.

How the Umami Self Hosting Cost Calculator Works

1. Select a provider from the dropdown menu. This lists all VPS providers from the latest data available (August 2026).

2. Choose a plan for the selected provider. Each plan displays its vCPU count, RAM, storage type/size, and included transfer.

3. Review the results showing the estimated self-hosting cost, the UmamiEngine $5 flat rate, and the monthly savings you could gain.

The calculator also shows each plan's billing method (hourly with monthly cap, monthly, or per-second) so you can understand pricing structure before committing to a given provider or plan.

Estimated Monthly Savings with UmamiEngine

For example, select a Hetzner CX23 (2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 40 GB SSD included, $6.49/month): UmamiEngine at $5/month saves you at least $1.49/month on server costs, plus you eliminate the cost and effort of setting up and maintaining your own instance.

For larger plans such as Hetzner CX53 (16 vCPU, 32 GB RAM, $34.99/month) or DigitalOcean Basic 8 GB ($48/month), the savings exceed $30+ per month by switching to UmamiEngine.

The tool even includes advanced instances like AWS Lightsail Compute Optimized $42 or Vultr High Performance hardware, so you can factor in any performance requirement or budget limit.
