Why choose Elmo over GetCito?

Open source and transparent

Every line of code is open. You can verify exactly how your visibility data is collected, calculated, and presented. No black boxes.

Self-host for free, forever

Run Elmo on your own infrastructure. The core platform is free and always will be, even when we release a cloud version of Elmo.

No vendor lock-in

Export everything, fork the code, or migrate at any time. You own all of your data and have the right to use it wherever you want.

Built to last

Bootstrapped and sustainable. No investors pushing towards dark patterns. We'll outlast the companies taking too much VC money.
