When self-hosted Matomo makes sense
If your organisation already operates PHP applications and databases, its team can include Matomo in those procedures. Server access is also useful when you need particular extensions or a specific infrastructure setup.
Plan for ongoing work. That includes updates and regular backups and tested restore procedures. Matomo also documents automatic archiving to prepare reports in the background. Assign responsibility for monitoring those tasks and responding to errors.
When speo fits your team
speo suits a team that wants Matomo for its website work while Rocketsky operates the analytics platform. You manage sites, access and your subscription in the customer portal; Matomo provides the reports. Swiss hosting is part of the service.
Compare the plans against your Hit volume and the sites and users you need. To cost a self-hosted installation, use your actual hosting costs and expected operational work.
