About
Overview
PostHog is an open-source, all-in-one product analytics platform. It combines event tracking, session recording, feature flags, and A/B testing into a single tool, making it highly popular among developers building modern SaaS applications.
Pricing & Free Tier
Free Tier: Yes. Extremely generous: 1 million events/month and 5,000 session recordings.
Pay-as-you-go: Billed based on usage after the free tier is exhausted.
Self-Hosted: Free open-source version available.
How to Use
- Create an account at posthog.com or self-host it.
- Install the PostHog snippet or SDK in your app.
- Enable autocapture to automatically track clicks and pageviews.
- Set up funnels and session recordings in the dashboard.
Important Notes
- Features: It replaces multiple tools (Mixpanel, Hotjar, LaunchDarkly), which reduces complexity.
- Data Volume: Because it tracks everything by default, event volume can spike quickly, leading to unexpected costs if you exceed the free tier.
