Countly is a serious product analytics platform with a genuine advantage: you can host it yourself. If your data must never leave infrastructure you control, that is decisive, and nothing hosted can match it.
The cost is that you operate it. Nohmo takes the opposite trade — hosted, flat-priced, one SDK, nothing for your team to keep alive at 3am.

Which one should you pick?
Choose Countly if…
- •Regulation or policy requires analytics data to stay on your own infrastructure.
- •You want the source and the freedom to modify it.
- •You have the ops capacity to run and upgrade a data platform.
Choose Nohmo if…
- •You would rather ship product than operate an analytics cluster.
- •You want crashes, funnels and friction without assembling plugins.
- •You want the price to be knowable in advance.
Where Nohmo falls short today
- •Countly can be self-hosted. Nohmo cannot — if data residency on your own servers is mandatory, Countly wins outright.
- •Countly is open source and extensible in ways a hosted product is not.
- •Countly has a longer track record and a wider plugin ecosystem.
Why teams choose Nohmo
No infrastructure
No cluster, no upgrades, no capacity planning. An npm install and an API key.
One predictable bill
Flat pricing rather than a plugin matrix where the features you actually want sit behind an enterprise quote.
Silent failures included
Rage taps and dead interactions are part of the product, not a separate module.
Frequently asked questions
Can I self-host Nohmo?+
Not today. If self-hosting is a hard requirement, Countly is the better choice and we would rather say so.
Where is Nohmo data stored?+
On our infrastructure. Regional data residency is on the roadmap — ask us if it is a blocker for you.
The verdict
Choose Countly if the data must live on your own servers. Choose Nohmo if you would rather not run the servers at all.
