PostHog Reviews & Product Details

I find PostHog incredibly easy to set up, which was a big relief for me as I navigated website analytics for my startup. The software's ability to handle a high volume of website data is impressive, assisting me in making well-informed decisions. Its customization options are highly beneficial, as I can adjust and tailor the analytics to fit my specific needs. The overall ease of use is fantastic and is a significant factor in my willingness to repurchase or recommend this product.

I dislike that PostHog does not have a mobile application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would not consider myself extremely technical or knowledgeable in web dev and analytics - however, when i came across Post Hog I was absolutely blown away. The ease of implementing it on to my site, the detailed documentation, the extensive features were just incredible. To top that all off, I felt like the design of the site, the styling, the colours, were just perfect. The website was so easy to use, I knew where everything was, and everyday I feel like I'm learning more and more.

The analytics were great, so many uses, possibilities, and I could create actions to track exactly what I wanted.

I raise my virtual glass and tip my virtual hat to the entire team of PostHog because you have won me over!

In summary, if you have any type of site, blog, app on the internet, use PostHog and thank me later- simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had trouble with the toolbar, it was easy to implement, but the inspect feature was not working. Tried to fix it by searching and using AI, but still haven't been able to. Is it a big deal? No, Why? Because the team at PostHog are playing chess. They already thought of that, and added a very easy way to do it all directly on their platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Session replay is excellent. I can watch exactly where users drop off or get stuck during checkout — without guessing or relying on incomplete heatmaps.

Funnels are powerful and flexible. We’ve built flows from product page views to checkout complete, and can slice them by device, browser, or even Shopify tag logic. Seeing where mobile users drop vs desktop was eye-opening.

Device and geo-based segmentation helps us optimize UX. We found layout bugs affecting Android tablets that would have gone unnoticed in GA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Funnel analysis is powerful, but only if your event data is clean. Minor inconsistencies (like two “Add to Cart” event names) can break step tracking. GA4 or Mixpanel handle some of this messiness better by abstracting naming differences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find PostHog incredibly helpful for capturing events across the entire stack, both front end and back end. This capability is crucial as we're focused on understanding our users' journeys and ensuring a great user experience. Additionally, the setup process was mostly easy, allowing us to efficiently monitor usage and performance metrics. I also enjoy the general vibe of the app, making it quite pleasant to use.

I found that setting up the analytics and dashboards with PostHog was a bit annoying. While capturing events was straightforward, creating certain visualizations was not as intuitive as I expected. There were issues with the MCP with Claude Code which often led to errors in writing the SQL needed to parse events and visualize them meaningfully. This process required a lot of manual debugging, which was frustrating. Additionally, I think the dashboards could be more straightforward, potentially benefiting from prebuilt options to simplify the setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PostHog brings together product analytics, session recording, feature flags, and experiments in a single platform, so I don’t have to juggle multiple tools. The UX is clean, fast, and intuitive, making it easy to find insights quickly. I also really appreciate their open-source approach and transparent pricing, which makes it accessible and scalable as my project grows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve can feel a bit steep at the beginning because there are so many features to explore. Some advanced setups and integrations require technical knowledge, which may not be ideal for non-technical users. Also, while the documentation is extensive, it could sometimes be more beginner-friendly with practical examples. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the simplicity of launching and implementing PostHog, which combines multiple functions into one platform. This all-in-one capability eliminates the need for various tools, particularly beneficial for new projects. PostHog effectively solves problems related to user behavior understanding and product issue identification, assisting me in addressing them efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was a little lost at the beginning trying to understand which events could be, should be, or are recommended to track, indicating there could be more clarity in initial guidance. There's room for improvement in the instructions for implementation. Having more detailed, native instructions, possibly based on prototype and user flow, would be beneficial. Recommendations on which triggers and events to implement would be ideal. This way, I could hand the document to developers and have everything implemented very quickly.

PostHog offers full product analytics, session recording, feature flags, A/B testing, and user behavior tracking—all in one place. I especially appreciate its self-hosting flexibility and privacy-friendly approach. It’s a dream for any startup or growth team looking to own their data stack without relying on third-party clouds. The plugin-based architecture and event tracking are highly customizable and intuitive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI can sometimes feel a bit cluttered when navigating between funnels, trends, and recordings. Also, the learning curve for advanced event-based analytics might be slightly steep for non-technical users. Some features like cohort analysis or dashboards could use smoother UX polish.

Almost everything:

- Super cool branding. The PostHog experience is sort of gamified in a non-cringe way which is very hard to do.

- Freemium is a steal. And even if you started paying, the value you get is >>>

- Can copy the docs as markdown which makes it very LLM-friendly for AI coding purposes

UI can get a bit overwhelming. Map wasn’t showing the countries & I had a hard time figuring out how to fix it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool works and MaxAI is very handy. I also like how quickly they fix the bugs. I like how easy was to setup the tool and the integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does a lot of things and it took me awhile to understand how they really connect. At the start i was a bit lost on how the options and functionality, i did not know what should I use PostHog for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Posthog understand what you need from usage analytics and feature flags. Every thing I need for getting their suite of tools implemented into my Next.js project was a breeze. I barely had to think to get it integrated and working. Its a tool I keep coming back to and if I need support their wiki is FULL of great info on how to do what you want.

I can't get a REAL hedgehog on my desk. I haven't come across something it did poorly or I couldn't do so as it stands there is nothing I dislike about Posthog. When I am setting up new projects, using Posthog is a no-brainer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
