🎯 Our verdict
PostHog has become one of the most complete and appreciated product analytics platforms on the market thanks to its all-in-one approach and its open-source model. The combination of analytics, session replay, feature flags, A/B testing and data warehouse in a single platform avoids juggling five SaaS tools and drastically simplifies product teams’ data stacks. The free plan, particularly generous with 1 million events, 5,000 session replays and unlimited flags, lets many startups use it without paying for months. The usage-based pricing is transparent and predictable, with the ability to cap costs per product. Its limitations mainly concern the learning curve: fully exploiting each block requires technical and data resources. For a scale-up that wants to consolidate its stack and keep control, PostHog is hard to beat today.
