Common questions
- Is Quantalog a drop-in replacement for Fathom?
- For traffic, referrers, events and goals, yes — swap the script tag and keep collecting. Quantalog then adds funnels, retention cohorts, SEO audits and scheduled reports on top.
- Does Quantalog need a consent banner like Fathom does not?
- Neither tool needs one. Both are cookieless and store nothing in the browser, so there is no identifier to ask permission for.
- Can I try Quantalog without paying?
- Yes. The free tier covers 10k pageviews a month with every feature included, where Fathom is paid-only after its trial.
