Analytics comparison
Two of the best analytics tools, compared side-by-side. Here’s how each one stacks up.
Privacy-friendly web analytics that's simple and lightweight.
🎯 Why it’s useful
Perfect for indie hackers who want to understand their traffic without dealing with GDPR consent banners or complex analytics setups.
💜 Why we like it
It's refreshingly simple — no bloated dashboards or overwhelming metrics. Just the essential data you actually need to see how your project is doing.
Open-source product analytics + feature flags + session replay.
🎯 Why it’s useful
You're paying for Mixpanel, LaunchDarkly, and Fullstory separately? PostHog is one tool at a quarter the price.
💜 Why we like it
Session Replay + funnels in the same tool means you can watch the literal sessions of users who churned at step 3.
