Why Switch from Mixpanel?
Mixpanel charges based on tracked users and events, creating unpredictable costs as products scale. PostHog is an open-source product analytics suite with event tracking, session recordings, and feature flags. It can be self-hosted for unlimited events or used via a generous free cloud tier. PostHog combines multiple analytics tools into one platform, reducing tool sprawl.
