EventDash vs PostHog

EventDash is the PostHog alternative for teams that opened PostHog, saw replay and flags, and only wanted to know where signup died. PostHog ships a product OS. EventDash ships one script, HTML attributes, and a funnel you can explain in a client Slack.

PostHog wins if your week is replay, feature flags, and experiments. The free tier is about a million events. Most people typing PostHog alternative will not live in those modules. They wanted the Monday drop-off chart. EventDash is that smaller job.

Why EventDash

Switch to EventDash for product analytics without adopting a platform: ~11 KB cookieless tracker, HTML goals, and a dashboard a two-person team can hand to a client.

Skip this switch only if

Skip the switch if you already watch session replay, ship flags, or run experiments in PostHog every week. That suite is why you bought it. EventDash does not pretend to replace those modules.

Why teams search for a PostHog alternative

You installed PostHog because the free quota looked enormous. Then the sidebar grew: replay, flags, experiments, surveys. Solo founders and agencies usually wanted three funnel steps and a goal on the signup button. They got a product OS. EventDash is the install that stops after the funnel chart.

Funnels without operating a platform

Mark pricing, the click, and account created. Use a page path, an event, or data-ed-goal. Do not turn on replay. Do not learn a flag UI. Open the chart on Monday, fix the fattest drop, ship. That is the whole product story. See the live funnel preview above this page for the shape of the chart.

Privacy defaults vs a configurable suite

PostHog can be strict, especially self-hosted. What you load changes the defaults. EventDash ships no cookies and PII filtering on. Narrower. Easier to say in a client message without a settings tour.

PostHog versus a traffic chart

If the other tab is Plausible or Fathom, that is a different fight. Those tools count visits and write nothing on the device. A salt rotates, so tomorrow is a new person. PostHog is the suite. I sit in the middle: one script, an anonymous id in localStorage, pricing and signup in the same visit. EventDash vs Plausible

FAQ

Is EventDash a PostHog alternative?

Yes. EventDash is a PostHog alternative for early teams that need funnels and events without session replay or a product-os learning curve. Agencies and solo founders finish installing it because it is one script, HTML attributes, and a funnel, not a platform.

When is EventDash better than PostHog?

When you want funnels and events without session replay, a large JS payload, or ten product surfaces. EventDash is the smaller install: HTML goals and a dashboard you can hand to a client. If those extra modules are already how the team works, you already bought PostHog.

Does EventDash have a PostHog-sized free tier?

No. EventDash Free is 100k events per month. PostHog’s free quota is much larger, about a million events a month. Pay EventDash $19/month when you want a simpler hosted product you will finish installing, not merely a cheaper event bucket.

Can I migrate from PostHog to EventDash?

Yes for events, funnels, and goals. Replay, flags, and experiments do not come with you; most switchers were not using them weekly. Remap your tracking plan to object_action names and HTML goals, then rebuild one activation funnel first and compare counts.
