Analytics comparison
Two of the best analytics tools, compared side-by-side. Here’s how each one stacks up.
Heatmaps + session recordings + on-page surveys.
🎯 Why it’s useful
A 30-minute Hotjar session almost always reveals at least one thing your funnel is doing wrong.
💜 Why we like it
The Survey + Heatmap combo gives you both quant and qual on the same flow.
Open-source product analytics + feature flags + session replay.
🎯 Why it’s useful
You're paying for Mixpanel, LaunchDarkly, and Fullstory separately? PostHog is one tool at a quarter the price.
💜 Why we like it
Session Replay + funnels in the same tool means you can watch the literal sessions of users who churned at step 3.
