Analytics comparison
Two of the best analytics tools, compared side-by-side. Here’s how each one stacks up.
Product analytics that answer "why".
🎯 Why it’s useful
Faster than building dashboards from raw SQL. Funnels with conversion-window edits in real time.
💜 Why we like it
The "Insights" report is the gold standard for ad-hoc product questions.
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.
