Can Quantalog replace a self-hosted Umami?

For traffic, events, funnels, goals and SEO, yes, without a server to run. It cannot put the database on your own infrastructure, which is the main reason teams self-host Umami.

Is Quantalog open source like Umami?

No. Quantalog is a hosted service. If running MIT-licensed code you can fork is a hard requirement, Umami is the better fit.

Which is faster to get running?

Quantalog — one script tag, live in seconds, no database to provision. Umami Cloud is also quick; self-hosted Umami is a deployment task.

In fairness

When Umami is the better choice.

Stay with Umami if self-hosting is a requirement — full data ownership on your own database, MIT-licensed code you can modify, and no per-event pricing because the cost is your own server. Quantalog does none of that.
