The important distinction is Cloud versus On-Premise
Matomo is not one deployment model. Matomo Cloud is managed, while Matomo On-Premise gives your team control over where the software and database run. That control can be exactly right for an organisation with an infrastructure team, established backup procedures and a requirement to administer every layer. It also means upgrades, capacity, database tuning, security patches and recovery planning become part of the analytics project.
MOJAQ takes a narrower position: a managed service whose analytics data is hosted in Helsinki. You add the tracking script and use the dashboard; there is no analytics application or database for your team to operate. That is useful when the desired outcome is clear EU residency and a practical DPA, but running an analytics platform is not work you want to add to the sprint.
Analytics is more useful beside the incident
Traffic numbers answer what visitors did. They do not explain why a release produced more errors, whether an endpoint became unavailable, or which deployment changed the pattern. MOJAQ puts cookieless analytics in the same account as error tracking, uptime checks, log search and deploy tracking. A small team can move from a traffic change to the operational context without maintaining integrations among several vendors.
This is not a claim that every Matomo reporting workflow has a matching MOJAQ screen. Teams that need Matomo's broader analytics ecosystem or deep custom reporting should evaluate those requirements directly. MOJAQ is aimed at teams that want straightforward website measurement and a compact developer toolchain: one account, one API key and one dashboard, with telemetry kept in the EU.
Privacy starts with collecting less
MOJAQ analytics is cookieless. That reduces reliance on persistent browser identifiers and keeps the implementation understandable for developers and reviewers. It does not make every site automatically compliant: your lawful basis, notice, retention choices and any other scripts still matter. What it does provide is a privacy-first analytics component, EU processing in Finland and a DPA included with the service.
Because monitoring data can also contain URLs, release names and application context, residency should cover more than pageviews. MOJAQ applies the Helsinki hosting model across the suite, so adopting errors or uptime later does not create a separate data-location review.
How to move from Matomo
Run both trackers briefly so you can check page naming and expected traffic patterns without treating unlike metrics as identical. Add the MOJAQ cookieless script, define the domains you want to measure, and verify pageviews and any custom events. Document the cutover date because sessions, visitors and attribution can be calculated differently across analytics products. Export any Matomo history you must retain before retiring the old tracker or On-Premise instance.
Questions
Is MOJAQ self-hosted like Matomo On-Premise?
No. MOJAQ is a managed service hosted in Helsinki. Choose Matomo On-Premise when administering the software and storage yourself is a firm requirement; choose MOJAQ when you want EU residency without operating the analytics stack.
Does cookieless analytics remove every GDPR obligation?
No. It reduces data collection and avoids analytics cookies, but your organisation still decides its lawful basis, privacy notice, retention and handling of other site technologies. MOJAQ includes a DPA and keeps service data in Helsinki.
Can MOJAQ replace every Matomo report?
Not necessarily. MOJAQ focuses on clear website analytics inside a broader developer suite. If a specialised Matomo report is essential, validate that workflow first or keep Matomo for it.
What happens after the private beta?
MOJAQ is free during the private beta, which has no fixed end date. Any paid plans will be announced in advance.
