TL;DR. Plausible answers "how many people visited my landing page" with
no cookies, no banner, no GDPR friction. PostHog answers "which onboarding
step is the funnel killer" with full event tracking, session replay, and
feature flags. They solve different problems — many teams run both.
Plausible's bet
Privacy-first, sub-1 KB script, GDPR-clean by default, dashboards readable in
five seconds. No personally identifiable information is collected, which
means no cookie banner. Self-hostable. Pricing scales with pageviews.
PostHog's bet
Full product analytics: events, funnels, retention cohorts, session replay,
A/B testing, feature flags, surveys, even a built-in CDP. Open source,
self-hostable. Pricing scales with event volume.
Verdict
Marketing site + light usage tracking → Plausible. Product team that
needs funnels, cohorts, flags → PostHog. Many teams ship both: Plausible
on the marketing site, PostHog inside the product.
