PostHog is a powerful product-analytics platform for engineering teams. People look for an alternative when they don't need event instrumentation, funnels and feature flags - and just want to know, simply, which traffic makes money. These are the alternatives to weigh up.
If you're leaving PostHog because you want to know which traffic actually makes money, that's the whole point of Clicked - revenue, conversions and conversion rate by source, from one line of code, no cookie banner, free to start. It won't replace PostHog's product analytics; it answers the money question the others make you guess at.

The default analytics tool, used almost everywhere. Free and deep - but GA4 is complex, relies on cookies (so it needs a consent banner in the EU), and is built around sessions and events rather than the revenue each traffic source actually brings in.
Clicked vs Google Analytics →A clean, lightweight, open-source and cookieless analytics tool focused on simple traffic stats. Privacy-friendly and pleasant to use - but built around pageviews and visitors, with revenue attribution as a lighter add-on rather than the core.
Clicked vs Plausible →A fast, elegant, cookieless analytics tool in the same privacy-first family as Plausible. GDPR-friendly and simple by design - focused on visits and events rather than the revenue each source drives.
Clicked vs Fathom Analytics →The most complete open-source Google Analytics replacement. Self-host it for full data ownership or use their cloud. Powerful and GA-like - which also means it's heavier to run, configure and maintain than a drop-in tool.
Clicked vs Matomo →A deliberately minimal, cookieless analytics tool for a clean high-level view of your traffic. Privacy-first and easy - not built around per-source revenue.
Clicked vs Simple Analytics →A free, open-source, cookieless analytics tool you self-host. Lightweight and privacy-friendly, and free if you run it yourself - but it's a pageview dashboard, and you own the hosting and maintenance.
Clicked vs Umami →One line on your site. No cookie banner, no signup to try. Clicked reads the ad pixels and cart you already have and shows revenue, conversions and conversion rate by source - live.
Only for the marketing-attribution job. PostHog does far more - product analytics, funnels, session replay, feature flags. If you need those, keep PostHog. Clicked replaces the specific need to see revenue and conversions by traffic source, simply and without instrumentation.
Clicked. It's one line of code and reads the ad pixels and cart you already have - no events to define. PostHog is powerful but expects you to instrument events, which usually means developer time.
Money-first analytics for stores and anyone buying traffic. Know what pays, skip the cookie banner.
