An honest look at how StatFast and PostHog stack up.
Being fair about the competition.
All-in-one platform: analytics, session replay, feature flags, A/B testing, and surveys in one tool
Open-source with a generous free tier (1M events/month for analytics)
Self-hosted option available for teams that need full data control
Strong developer community and modern, well-designed product experience
The advantages that matter most.
Purpose-built for website analytics — not a side feature in a larger product platform
AI insights that automatically explain traffic changes without manual chart reading
30-second setup vs PostHog's SDK integration and event taxonomy planning
Cookie-free by design vs PostHog's user-tracking approach
PostHog is excellent if you need an all-in-one product engineering platform — analytics, feature flags, A/B testing, and session replay. StatFast is the better choice if you specifically need website traffic analytics and want AI-powered insights without learning a complex platform. Many teams use both: PostHog for product engineering and StatFast for the marketing site. If website traffic is your only analytics need, StatFast is simpler, faster, and more focused.
