PostHog is a great tool. Not too long ago we used a whole bunch of different tools to achieve the same stuff you can now get directly out of PostHog. I also love the session recording feature to understand user behaviour. In addition PostHog is giving startups a generous amount of credits to use their product. This is really awesome! Thanks PostHog!

PostHog is a powerful, affordable all‑in‑one analytics platform ideal for developer-centric teams and startups. It gives you deep control over data, compliance, and experimentation—without juggling multiple SaaS tools. If you're technically inclined and want rapid insights plus flexibility, it’s a compelling choice. That said, it might be more than lighter teams need—or harder to deploy for non‑dev users.

PostHog is a powerful and flexible open source product analytics platform that is particularly suitable for cost-sensitive startups and SMEs. Its open source nature, generous free tier, and powerful features make it competitive in the market. However, it still has room for improvement in documentation support and the completeness of the self-hosted version.

I’ve been using PostHog for over six months now, and it has significantly transformed the way our team handles product analytics. Initially, we were looking for an open-source alternative to Google Analytics that could provide more flexibility and control over our data. PostHog not only met but exceeded our expectations in several ways.

We have been using PostHog in all our projects since day one! It's a great product that is fully focussed on what is needed in product analytics. I would recommend the tool to anyone looking for an easy to use analytics tool.

I think they have a great platform and right abstractions of events, actions, etc. that's getting more feature rich every week and it's great that since it's still a somewhat young project they are really open to feedback and suggestions and actually are able to continually deliver improvement in the product on an ongoing basis which is pretty delightful as an end user. Last thing that's a biggie for me too is the great culture and openness of the project and team - it's just been so easy and painless to work with them. Even if we do run into some sort of issue or feature we might want to see in the product - its as simple as a feature request in the GH repo and can have full transparency and tracking on it from there as well as see if other users feel the same way. So this lets you feel like you can easily be part of the community around PostHog and help to continually make it better.
