Comparison

Linqry vs PostHog

PostHog is an all-in-one product platform with session replay, feature flags and experiments. Linqry is a focused analytics tool. Here is how to choose.

PostHog and Linqry are aimed at different problems. PostHog is an all-in-one developer platform — product analytics, session replay, feature flags, A/B testing, error tracking and surveys — and it is MIT-licensed with a self-hosted open-source option. If you want that breadth, or you want to self-host, PostHog is the stronger choice and it is not close. Linqry does a much narrower job: hosted web analytics with funnels, cohorts and revenue attribution, at $5 per site per month.

Licence

MIT for the open-source self-hosted deployment.

Self-hosting

Yes, but PostHog's own documentation positions the open-source self-hosted deployment as being for hobbyists and unusual setups rather than production scale.
