By GitHub stars it is Matomo, with 22,027 stars and a commit on 13 Nov. Choose Matomo when you want multi-channel attribution and full web analytics, with the option to keep every hit in-house. Next come OpenPanel (7,296 stars) and Litlyx (1,748 stars).

Yes. The code of all 4 is public under GPL 3.0 or later, AGPL 3.0 or Apache 2.0, so you can use them with no licence fee. Running one yourself costs the server and your time to look after it, and some makers also sell a hosted plan.

Start from the job you use Usermaven for. Choose Litlyx when you want to ask an AI about your traffic and keep the option to run the whole stack yourself. Choose OpenPanel when you want funnels, retention and session replay with unlimited seats, or self-hosted with no event caps.

3 of the 4: Matomo, OpenPanel and Litlyx. Each tool's page says what it needs to run.

3 of the 4 we track had a commit in the last 30 days, among them Matomo, OpenPanel and Vemetric. The quietest is Litlyx, last changed on 3 Dec 2025. A recent commit shows the project is kept up, not that it will stay that way.

AGPL 3.0 (2), GPL 3.0 or later (1), Apache 2.0 (1). MIT, BSD and Apache let you change and reuse the code freely. GPL and AGPL ask you to share your changes under the same licence when you give the software to others, and AGPL also counts letting people use it over a network.

The hosting. Usermaven's maker runs the servers for you; with an open source tool the updates, backups, security fixes and support are yours, unless you take the maker's hosted plan. Features differ too, so check what each one imports and exports before you move your data.
