Posthog

PostHog is an all-in-one platform designed for product engineers that combines product analytics, session replay, feature flags, and experimentation tools. It captures product usage data as events, enabling teams to analyze user behavior through dashboards, funnels, graphs, and trends. The platform supports integrations and offers single sign-on (SSO) with Google, GitHub, and GitLab. PostHog operates on a usage-based pricing model with generous free tiers, allowing unlimited tracked users and team members without limits on API access. The platform is targeted at product engineers, early-stage startups, hobbyists, pre-product-market-fit teams, and scaling organizations that prefer self-serve analytics without sales calls. Users can start with a free tier that includes 1 million events, 5,000 session recordings, and 1 million feature flag requests per month. Beyond the free tier, pricing scales based on volume with tiered rates for events, session recordings, and feature flag requests. Additional platform add-ons and AI credits are available for purchase.
