PostHog alternatives

14 other tools do this job. Which one is right depends on why PostHog is not working for you — so start from the reason, not the list.

Why teams leave PostHog

  • Individual modules are less deep than category specialists.
  • Self-hosting at scale is a serious infrastructure undertaking.
  • The product surface changes fast, which means occasional churn.

Worth saying: PostHog is genuinely strong at this — replaces four or five separate subscriptions with one bill and one sdk. If that is the part you rely on, switching may cost more than it saves.

If cost is the problem

Cheaper than PostHog at the entry point, or free outright.
