A practical product comparison
Considering an Umami alternative?
Umami is an appealing choice for teams that want open-source software and the option to self-host. quietstats takes a managed-service approach. The decision is mainly about who operates the analytics service, which features you need, and how you prefer to pay.
When quietstats may fit
quietstats may suit a website owner who wants a managed dashboard, a free entry plan and familiar monthly pricing in GBP without administering an analytics server.
- No self-hosting: the service runs on Cloudflare Workers and D1.
- Free for one site and 5,000 pageviews monthly; paid plans are priced in GBP.
- Includes AI referral reports, campaign tracking, alerts, goals, exports and a read-only Stats API.
When Umami Analytics may fit
Umami may be a better fit if control of the deployment, open-source code, or the option to self-host is important. Umami Cloud also publishes usage-based plans; check its current pricing and event allowances against your own traffic.
- Umami publishes its source code and supports self-hosting.
- Cloud and self-hosted operation put different work on the provider versus your team.
- Compare the billing unit (events versus pageviews) and retention limits, not only the headline price.
The trade-off to understand
quietstats is not open source and cannot be self-hosted. It offers a smaller managed product scope than analytics platforms used for product analytics, and does not import historical Umami reports.
Moving from Umami Analytics
There is no direct Umami history importer in quietstats. Keep your old database or exports if you need them. You can start collecting new website analytics after adding the quietstats snippet; expect different totals if the tracking rules differ.
Questions to ask
Can I self-host quietstats?
No. Umami offers self-hosting; quietstats is a hosted product.
Does quietstats use the same billing unit as Umami Cloud?
No. quietstats plans are based on monthly pageviews; Umami Cloud publishes event-based allowances. Check both current pricing pages for a like-for-like estimate.
Can I move Umami history into quietstats?
There is no built-in Umami importer. The supported historical imports are from Plausible and GA4.
