A calmer PostHog alternative.
PostHog is a powerful product-analytics suite built for engineers. If your team mostly needs clear website analytics with revenue context, OpenRevenue delivers that without the platform to operate.

OpenRevenue vs PostHog, in detail
The substance behind the checkmarks, one topic at a time.
Built for developers vs built for everyone
PostHog is an engineering tool at heart: SQL-style queries, event pipelines, feature flags, and a data model you configure. In the right hands it is extremely capable.
OpenRevenue is built so the whole team reads it without training. Visitors, sources, funnels, and revenue live one click away, and the AI assistant handles the long-tail questions.
Pricing
PostHog's free tier is generous, and its usage-based pricing across multiple products is powerful but hard to predict. Replays, analytics, and flags each meter separately.
OpenRevenue is one plan that scales by monthly events, from $9 per month, with every feature included at every tier. No per-product meters, no surprise bills.
Script weight
The PostHog browser bundle weighs tens of kilobytes, more with replays enabled. Your visitors pay that cost on every page load.
OpenRevenue's tracker is under 1 KB, so your Core Web Vitals stay green. And OpenRevenue measures those vitals for you, from real visitors.
Privacy
PostHog can be configured for privacy-conscious tracking, but cookieless operation and consent handling are choices you have to make and maintain.
OpenRevenue is privacy-friendly by default: no marketing cookies, no fingerprinting for ads, and no cross-site tracking. Customers remain responsible for notices and any consent rules that apply to their site.
A suite vs a focus
PostHog bundles product analytics, session replay, experiments, surveys, and a data warehouse. If you use all of it, that breadth is the point.
OpenRevenue focuses on doing website analytics extremely well: traffic, journeys, funnels, revenue, realtime, and performance in one calm dashboard.
Support
PostHog's support runs through docs, community, and paid plans, which fits its developer audience.
OpenRevenue support comes from the small team building the product, with real answers and priority support on paid plans.
