About PostHog
PostHog is the open-source product analytics platform that's quietly become the indie default for SaaS founders past their first 1,000 users. The product bundles analytics, session replay, feature flags, A/B testing, and error tracking into one stack — what you'd otherwise pay Mixpanel + Sentry + LaunchDarkly for. The free tier (1M events/mo) is generous, the cloud pricing is fair, and the self-hosted Kubernetes path is real (though non-trivial). The trade-off is the surface area: it can do everything, which means your team will need to decide what it actually uses.
✓Best for
- SaaS products past the 1k MAU mark that need real funnel and retention analysis
- Teams that would otherwise stitch together 4–5 separate observability tools
- Companies wanting a clear self-host migration path away from vendor lock-in
−Probably skip if
- Pure marketing/web analytics — Plausible or Fathom are simpler and cheaper
- Privacy-first teams that don't want behavioural tracking at all
- Solo founders pre-PMF — the feature set is overkill until you have real volume
