how is this different from Posthog?
- pancomplex 2y agoThe stack is indeed very similar to Posthog. The biggest difference is that we don't come with all the feature bloat (Session Recordings, Feature Flags, Surveys, etc.) and instead provide a very minimal and easy to use backend + API that is applicable to a ton of use cases. We (Frigade.com) actually use Posthog as well as Trench in production. Posthog powers all our website analytics. Trench powers our own SDK and tracking scripts we ship to our own customers. I actually tried to spin up Posthog originally before building Trench, but there was just way too much overhead and "junk" we didn't need. I would need to strip out so many features of their Python app, it would eventually be faster to build a clean solution in Typescript ourselves.
- BohdanPetryshyn 2y agoIn addition to what pancomplex mentioned, Posthog is not fully open-source. Their free self-hosted version has limited functionality and the paid self-hosted version is no longer supported [1] which makes me feel like I'm pushed to use their cloud offering.
