Voluum vs Keitaro — pick by these 5 hard constraints

Voluum vs Keitaro — pick by these 5 hard constraints

Stop arguing on features. Decide on infrastructure reality. Run this checklist top to bottom; first hard constraint that trips decides for you.

1. Hosting control. If you must own redirect data on your own server (compliance, vertical risk) → Keitaro. SaaS-only → Voluum.
2. Redirect latency budget. Keitaro on a VPS near your traffic source beats cross-region SaaS hops. If 50ms matters, self-host.
3. Volume billing. Keitaro is flat-fee per license — high volume gets cheaper per click. Voluum bills by event; spiky volume punishes you.
4. Team SSO + roles. Need granular seats and audit logs without DevOps → Voluum wins.
5. Custom SQL on raw logs. Keitaro gives you ClickHouse access; pull anything. Voluum locks you to its reporting API.

— Score: 3+ constraints favor one side → that's your tracker.
— Don't migrate on a tie. Migration cost outweighs marginal feature gain.
