Before you switch

Should you replace PostHog?

Why people stay 3

Autocapture and the browser toolbar get a web product answering basic questions with little upfront instrumentation.
Generous free allowances make it practical for an early-stage team to adopt several modules at once.
Shared identities and cohorts keep rollout targeting and experiment analysis from drifting apart.

Why people switch 3

The expanding navigation can feel crowded, and some newer modules are less polished than the core analytics tools.
Usage-based charges are split across products, which makes the monthly bill difficult to predict as volume changes.
Self-hosting demands real ClickHouse and infrastructure expertise; it is not a low-maintenance escape from SaaS fees.
