PostHog alternative

A simpler PostHog alternative for website analytics

PostHog is a product analytics platform with session replay, feature flags, experiments and surveys.

Hitsteps gives you a live visitor view on Free, live chat from Starter at $4.99 a month and click heatmaps from Growth at $9.99 a month. PostHog is free for its first 1 million analytics events a month, then billed per event, with no credit card needed to start (pricing page, checked 26 Oct 2026).
