Unlike Figma, which requires paid third-party integrations like Maze for user testing, Quant-UX has session recording, click tracking, task definition, and A/B testing built in natively. The design canvas is less polished than Figma's, but the integrated UX research workflow makes it a compelling replacement for Figma plus Maze combined. Self-hosting is also supported. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
