PostHog vs KISSmetrics: What are the differences?

Developers describe PostHog as "Open-source product analytics for developers". It is open source product analytics, built for developers. Automate the collection of every event on your website or app, with no need to send data to 3rd parties. It's a 1 click to deploy on your own infrastructure, with full API/SQL access to the underlying data. On the other hand, KISSmetrics is detailed as "Get actionable metrics for your business". Optimize Your Business and Get More Customers. Identify, understand, and improve the metrics that drive your online business.

PostHog and KISSmetrics can be categorized as "Funnel Analysis Analytics" tools.

Some of the features offered by PostHog are:

  • Event-based analytics at a user level
  • Complete control over your data
  • Automatically capture

On the other hand, KISSmetrics provides the following key features:

  • The basic unit in KISSmetrics is a person. When you view your KISSmetrics reports they show you people, not just aggregate data.
  • Track your person-centric data
  • Our JavaScript allows you to track data right from your website so you can measure your campaigns, discover your referrers and understand marketing attribution.

PostHog is an open source tool with 1.02K GitHub stars and 38 GitHub forks. Here's a link to PostHog's open source repository on GitHub.
