A lighter Matomo alternative.
Matomo brought analytics ownership to the open-source world, but its Google-Analytics-style interface and plugin maintenance add up. Reignat keeps the privacy and drops the weight.

What changes after moving from Matomo
No servers to think about
Tracking starts with one script tag. No instance to size, no updates to schedule, no plugins to license.
Reports without the maze
Funnels, journeys, and sources are one click away instead of buried in nested menu trees.
Analytics runs itself
The team reads dashboards and asks the AI assistant, while maintenance time drops to zero.
Reignat vs Matomo, in detail
The substance behind the checkmarks, one topic at a time.
Self-hosted vs managed
Matomo's flagship feature is ownership: run it on your servers and the data never leaves. The cost is real maintenance: updates, scaling, archiving jobs, and plugin licenses.
Reignat is fully managed and still privacy-first: no personal data stored, no selling or sharing, full control to view or delete what is collected. You get the ownership benefits without the ops.
Setup
Setting up Matomo means provisioning a server or subscribing to the cloud, configuring the instance, and choosing plugins. Funnels and heatmaps are paid add-ons.
Reignat is one script tag with funnels, journeys, revenue, realtime, and AI included. First pageviews show up in minutes.
Interface
Matomo mirrors the classic Google Analytics layout: dozens of report screens, segments, and settings. Familiar to GA veterans, heavy for everyone else.
Reignat is a single dashboard your whole team can read at a glance, with details one click deep instead of five menus deep.
Privacy
Matomo can be configured for cookieless, consent-free tracking, and it is a genuinely privacy-respecting tool when set up carefully.
Reignat is privacy-friendly out of the box: cookieless by default, no personal data stored, and no consent banner in typical setups. There is nothing to configure to get there.
Performance
Matomo's JavaScript tracker weighs around 22 KB, and self-hosted instances slow down as data grows unless you tune archiving.
Reignat's tracker is under 1 KB and the analytics backend is built on ClickHouse, so dashboards stay fast at millions of events.
Support
Matomo support depends on your setup: community forums for self-hosted, tickets for cloud, and marketplace vendors for plugins.
Reignat support comes from the team building the product, with real answers to setup and tracking questions and priority support on paid plans.
