Analytics comparison
Two of the best analytics tools, compared side-by-side. Here’s how each one stacks up.
Free heatmaps and session replay.
🎯 Why it’s useful
Genuinely free with no traffic cap. The data quality is on par with Hotjar.
💜 Why we like it
The "smart events" auto-detect frustration signals (rage clicks, dead clicks) without setup.
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.
