Is Quantalog open source like Plausible?

No. Quantalog is a hosted service. If self-hosting your analytics is a hard requirement, Plausible is the better fit and this page will not argue otherwise.

What does Quantalog do that Plausible does not?

Three things a pageview counter does not cover: SEO audits with Lighthouse scores in the same dashboard as your traffic, retention cohorts, and a multi-tenant Platform API for handing analytics to your own customers.

Can I migrate from Plausible without losing tracking?

Yes. Add the Quantalog script alongside the one you have, compare the numbers for a couple of weeks, then remove whichever you are leaving. Historical data does not transfer between the two.
