VS Self-hosted tool

The short answer

Pick misomoon if

  • You want funnels, journeys and revenue without a paid plan.1
  • You would rather not run Docker, Postgres and ClickHouse yourself.2
  • You want an official MCP server for Claude, Cursor and other AI tools.3

Pick Plausible if

  • You want two-factor sign-in today. misomoon has none yet.3
  • You want a hosted plan from the same team, with funnels and revenue on its Business plan.1
  • You can’t use Cloudflare, or you want the data on your own hardware.2
