Millimetric vs.

Matomo

Matomo's compliance story, modern API on top.

In one paragraph

Matomo invented 'self-hosted, GDPR-friendly analytics' and still owns that crown for government and enterprise procurement. Millimetric is the same compliance posture rebuilt for HTTP, JSON and LLMs — without 12 years of PHP plugin sprawl.

Pick Matomo when…

Procurement says 'self-hosted, on-prem, EU-only, on a VM I touch.'
You have a sysadmin and like PHP.
You need plugin-ecosystem features (heatmaps, A/B, etc.).

Pick Millimetric when…

Procurement says 'EU data, no third-party cookies' but you don't want to run anything.
You're on serverless, edge, or Workers — Matomo doesn't fit there.
You want an MCP server so your AI agent can read events.
