Quantalog vs Simple Analytics
A Simple Analytics alternative that keeps the cookieless, no-banner model and the tidy dashboard, then adds funnels, retention cohorts, SEO audits and a multi-tenant API — with a free tier.
Simple Analytics is a privacy-first, EU-hosted pageview dashboard with a deliberately minimal interface. Quantalog shares the cookieless model and the clean dashboard, and does more with the data. This page is for teams who like Simple Analytics and have outgrown a counter.

Common questions
- Is Quantalog a drop-in replacement for Simple Analytics?
- 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.
- Does Quantalog host data in the EU like Simple Analytics?
- Simple Analytics is explicitly EU-hosted. If that is a hard requirement for you, it is the safer choice; Quantalog does not currently guarantee an EU-only data region.
- Can I try Quantalog without paying?
- Yes. The free tier covers 10k pageviews a month with every feature included, where Simple Analytics is paid-only after its trial.
