PostHog
Not replaceableeditor verdict · 0 votes
Product analytics platform: events, funnels, session replay, feature flags and A/B tests; open code, self-hostable, European cloud available. Free plan with monthly limits.
An event counter can be coded in a weekend; PostHog is something else: funnels, retention, session replay, feature flags and experiments combined in a product years ahead. Self-hosting is possible but heavy (several services). If you only need to count pages, Plausible or Umami are enough.
What you lose
- Funnels, retention and cohorts
- Session replay
- Feature flags and A/B tests
- Data integrations
