How engineers build better products.

PostHog is the open-source all-in-one platform for product analytics, session replay, feature flags, A/B tests, and the surveys you keep meaning to send. Built by engineers who got tired of stitching together six SaaS dashboards that all charge per-seat for the privilege.

What's in the box

Every analytics tool a product engineer actually needs.

One database, one billing line, one set of definitions for what an “active user” is. Hover any card to flash the hidden brand orange — DESIGN.md §1 calls it the signature interaction surprise.

Analytics

Product analytics that don't lie

Funnels, retention, paths, lifecycle — all built on raw events you actually own. No sampling, no aggregated hand-waving, no “trust us, the dashboard is right.”

Explore funnels →
Replay

Watch what your users actually did

Session replay with console logs, network requests, and the rage clicks your support team have been complaining about all week. Privacy masking on by default.

See a session →
Experiments

Feature flags & A/B tests

Ship a flag in five minutes, run an experiment in five days, kill the bad arm in five seconds. Same data warehouse as your analytics — the results never disagree with the funnel.

Self-host or hosted

Two clicks from zero to first event.

Drop us your work email and we'll send the install command that fits your stack — npm, pnpm, pip, go get, or one truly heroic curl | bash. No calendars, no “quick chat” bookings.


By the way: PostHog is open source under MIT. The hosted plan exists because someone has to pay the S3 bill. Read the design spec or browse the tokens.

We'll never sell it. We'll barely even use it.

We'll match the install snippet to your runtime.

No credit card. No marketing automation gauntlet. The hedgehog approves.
