Reviewer scorecard
“Simple to install but the data quality is limited. PostHog session replay is better for technical teams.”
“Simplest vector DB to get started with. Serverless pricing means you only pay for what you use. Great for RAG.”
“Heatmaps and recordings reveal how users actually interact with designs. Essential for UX optimization.”
“PostHog does everything Hotjar does plus product analytics. Consolidating tools is smarter than paying for both.”
“Vendor lock-in with no self-hosting option. pgvector gives you vectors in your existing Postgres — simpler architecture.”
“Purpose-built vector databases will outperform bolted-on vector features as embedding workloads grow more complex.”
