Side-by-side comparison
Compare PostHog vs Umami on pricing, free access, features, support and limitations using source-backed profile data and visible check dates.
Quick answer
There is no universal winner here. The better choice depends on the workflow, budget and limitation you can accept.
Choose it for: SaaS product and engineering teams measuring onboarding, feature adoption and retention alongside website acquisition
Starting price: Free allowances; product analytics from US$0.00005 per event above 1 million/month
Watch for: Several products have independent billing units and limits; exceeding a cap can discard new data, so an inexpensive analytics estimate does not cover the whole suite.
Choose it for: Small site owners and technical teams wanting privacy-focused traffic and conversion reporting with cloud or self-hosted deployment
Starting price: Free Hobby cloud tier; Pro US$20/month; Business US$200/month
Watch for: Cloud usage includes stored event properties, and session replay and heatmaps start at Business rather than the US$20 Pro plan.
