PostHog alternative

# The PostHog alternative for focused product analytics.

Tracwell is a PostHog alternative for teams that want focused product analytics instead of a broad product suite. Traffic, goals, funnels, session timelines and revenue are ready without building reports, and pricing is a fixed monthly allowance: $29 at 2M events and $79 at 10M, where PostHog’s product analytics costs about $50 and $324. PostHog is free below 1M events.

Why teams switch

## Why people look for a PostHog alternative.

1. ### Usage-based bills

   After its free 1M events, PostHog charges per event, so the monthly bill moves with traffic. Session replay and its other products are billed on top.

2. ### Revenue is do-it-yourself

   PostHog removed its revenue analytics dashboard and exposes revenue as properties for you to build reports from.

3. ### A broad product to learn

   PostHog bundles analytics with replay, flags, experiments, error tracking and a data warehouse. Teams that only need analytics still navigate all of it.

An honest trade

## What you gain, and what you give up.

### With Tracwell you get

- A fixed monthly price: collection pauses at the limit instead of billing usage
- Ready-made revenue attribution from verified backend payments
- Traffic, goals, funnels and session timelines in one focused dashboard
- Hosted MCP access for AI tools on every plan

### Where PostHog may suit you better

- PostHog is free for the first 1M events each month; Tracwell has a 7-day trial and no free plan.
- PostHog includes session replay, feature flags, experiments and error tracking; Tracwell does not.
- PostHog’s MCP can also change flags and other PostHog settings; Tracwell’s covers analytics, goals and funnels.

All six Tracwell event allowances include goals, funnels, sessions, API and MCP access, and seats based on event allowance. Pageviews and custom events share the allowance.

PostHog bills product analytics per event after a free 1M each month: $0.00005 per event up to 2M, then $0.0000343 up to 15M. Session replay and its other products are billed separately. Its free plan keeps one year of data and paid usage keeps seven; Tracwell keeps one to four years by allowance. Tracwell stops new collection at its limit instead of billing usage.

PostHog’s first 1M events each month are free. Tracwell has a 7-day free trial and no free plan, so it is not cheaper below 1M events.
