Reviewer scorecard
“Simple to install but the data quality is limited. PostHog session replay is better for technical teams.”
“The query builder is powerful and the SDK integration is clean. Better for product analytics than Google Analytics.”
“Heatmaps and recordings reveal how users actually interact with designs. Essential for UX optimization.”
“Not relevant for creative work. It's a product analytics tool for PMs and engineers.”
“PostHog does everything Hotjar does plus product analytics. Consolidating tools is smarter than paying for both.”
“The free tier with 20M events is generous. Best pure product analytics tool if you don't need session replay.”
