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:

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