First, the pricing being this generous for small businesses is a plus.
The dashboard, is surprisingly intuitive and powerful, switching projects check analytics, setting up feedback campaigns is just a click away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I was confused by exposing the api keys in the application main entry point, I couldn't find significant documentation about the api key scope, because I took some extra measures to secure that information, and therefore I was surprised when I was supposed to add them to the main html file thereafter.
For some reason the feedback widgets in the application keep appearing and disappearing in some browsers, and I could not find a proper way to make them work nor a straight-forward way to debug it.
Lastly, I set up the reverse proxy as documented, but the check didn't respond to the change nor I was able to check it in the quick start guide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love the session replay feature. It lets me see what users are more interested in. And at the same time I can tweak the site to put the CTA in the best possible places. Also good to find errors or users confused by complex UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's got a steep learning curve. Out of the box, you see barely no information about your site: visitors, the search terms they used to get to the site, the page they landed on... Yes, you can create those views probably, but for people coming from GA it looks like a lot of work just to start. And we need to do that on each site. So it'd be good to offer a "starter template". And if it can look like GA a bit, even better. Onboarding would be so much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
PostHog provides an all-in-one product analytics platform that’s developer-friendly and ideal for teams that want full control over their data. I love that it's open source and self-hostable, which ensures complete data ownership. The UI is intuitive, and the event tracking setup is straightforward. Session replays and feature flags are built-in, reducing the need for multiple tools. It’s especially great for engineering-led teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While the platform is quite comprehensive, the initial setup for self-hosting can be a bit complex if you're not familiar with Docker or Kubernetes. Also, some advanced features may require configuration via code files, which could be challenging for non-technical users. The documentation is helpful, but there's room for improvement in clarity and examples for edge cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that PostHog has integrated many of the commonly useful *Ops tools into a single solution with a single method of code integration. All of the tools seem to hit on major functionality compared to other tools on the market. Of course, all of this comes down to value for dollar, and PostHog is succeeding at letting me scale the cost of these tools, alongside my usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With a large number of tools, letting non-technical users find value is always a challenge.
A little more specific. I would like to see PostHog most directly support OpenFeature (feature flags). There is an open source project but I can't tell if PostHog is involved with that project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What impressed me most about PostHog is how it successfully combines multiple tools into one cohesive platform. After trying it for my new SaaS project (following Theo's recommendation), I found that I no longer needed separate solutions for different analytics needs. The landing page analytics provide clear, actionable insights without overwhelming me with data, and the LLM observability features are a game-changer for those of us implementing AI functionality.
The generous free tier is genuinely useful - not just a limited demo. It gives you enough functionality to properly evaluate the platform and even use it productively while you're in early stages. Coming from a background using Sentry and Google Analytics, I appreciate how PostHog eliminates the need to juggle multiple tools and subscriptions while providing deeper insights than either of those platforms alone.

While I'm still in the process of finishing my product and haven't explored all features in depth, the initial learning curve was steeper than expected. Some of the more advanced features require time to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
PostHog impressed me with its remarkably simple setup process - I was up and running in minutes rather than hours. While I'm currently using their cloud offering, I greatly appreciate that they provide a self-hosted option. This flexibility aligns perfectly with my tech stack strategy, as I self-host several other tools in my workflow. Having the freedom to migrate to self-hosted if my needs change gives me confidence in PostHog as a long-term analytics solution.
As a developer who's battled with Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, and IBM Analytics, integrating PostHog into my Nuxt environment was refreshingly painless.
Their newsletter is one of the few I haven't unsubscribed from! It hits a sweet spot I rarely see in dev tools - a mix of practical PostHog tips alongside genuinely interesting tech explorations that aren't just thinly-veiled marketing fluff. It's like getting tactical advice from that one senior dev who's both technically sharp and surprisingly fun to hang out with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
PostHog's extensive ecosystem is something of a double-edged sword, but their docs are solid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The versatility of Posthog is just insane.
I'm a solo founder, which means I'm in charge of product and marketing at the same time.
Using their session replays, I can easily look at:
- How prospects are looking at the website - where they pause, where they skip, and where they convert
- How users are using the app, and where the UX needs to be improved
Plus, I can use their web analytics to figure out where my best traffic is coming from - without paying Vercel an extra $50/month.
At the same time, I love their marketing. It feels like an Apple product where you keep the box, except in this case you take screenshots and show people.
I remember when I signed up, their pricing was either "Completely free" or "Ridiculously cheap" which made me crack up.
And their marketing is always satirical but in the best way.
I've told multiple people already about the session replays in particular since I think it's critical for any business with a website, app, or anything else on the web.
Finally, they just added Error tracking which I've needed a solution for, but haven't taken the pill with Sentry yet. I'd much rather have it all in Posthog so it's awesome they have this feature.
To summarize, it's extremely versatile and I think everyone should be using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Usually the loading times are a bit slow. Understandable because of the data-crunching that needs to occur, but Vercel is much faster and I find myself getting bored waiting for the data to load in Posthog. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
PostHog has been a game-changer for our project, which focuses on enhancing post-operative care using AI. The ability to self-host ensures that we remain HIPAA-compliant while still leveraging powerful analytics. I particularly appreciate the session replays, event-based tracking, and feature flags, which help us refine user experience and troubleshoot issues efficiently. The integrations with Next.js and our existing stack were seamless, and the ability to export data for further analysis is a big plus. I am frequently using Posthog for different features it gives like: feature flags, session replays ,web analytics and many more. That is why I dont have to use multiple libraries for different requirements. It is a all in one product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While PostHog offers a great range of features, the initial setup for self-hosting and fine-tuning the configurations took some effort. The documentation is helpful, but certain advanced use cases could use more in-depth examples. Additionally, while their support is responsive, I would love to see more real-time chat options for quicker issue resolution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
PostHog has been a fantastic surprise. I initially expected it to be a heavy and complex analytics tool, but it turned out to be incredibly accessible—especially for early-stage projects. The setup was straightforward and fast, and it integrated seamlessly with my Next.js app, performing far better than expected. What really stands out is how complete the platform is. It has every feature I could need—from product analytics to session replays, feature flags, A/B testing, and more—all in one place. Usually, you need to string together multiple tools to get this level of insight, but PostHog just delivers everything out of the box without feeling bloated. It’s rare to find a tool this powerful that still feels lightweight and developer-friendly. Highly recommended for startups and scale-ups alike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If I had to pick something, it would be the documentation. It’s not bad by any means, but I think it could be a bit better organized and more detailed in some areas—especially for edge cases or advanced use. That said, this is really just nitpicking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Getting started was a breeze—setup was quick and required minimal configuration.
At our company, we use it daily to monitor feature usage and track user interactions.
The auto-capture functionality has been a huge time-saver, and implementing custom events was straightforward.
Integration with Slack was fast and makes error tracking easy, especially when paired with custom captures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only area I found a bit confusing was around cookie usage—I’d really appreciate more detailed documentation or a tutorial to better understand how to implement and manage that part effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
