There is rarely a situation where you should allow your employer to match the offer you have in hand.
They had the opportunity to do so and then failed to properly retain you. If they realize how much losing you will cost them in productivity, that's on them, not you.
It's not personal. It's literally business.
You could try negotiating regular pay raises, start with a match and require 5% per year after that.
If they ain't paying you enough to stay they're highly unlikely to honor the idea of regular raises. They've already shown they're willing to low ball you if they can get away with it so fuck taking the risk of staying.
