Analytics comparison
Two of the best analytics tools, compared side-by-side. Here’s how each one stacks up.
Privacy-friendly Google Analytics replacement.
🎯 Why it’s useful
Faster page loads than GA. No cookie banner needed. Self-hostable.
💜 Why we like it
The single-page dashboard. No "configure 8 widgets to see traffic" — it's right there.
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.
