PostHog Demonstration See PostHog in action

## PostHog is an all-in-one, open source platform for building better products - Specify events manually, or use autocapture to get started quickly - Analyze data with ready-made visualizations, or do it yourself with SQL - Gather insights by capturing session replays, console logs, and network monitoring - Improve your product with A/B testing that automatically analyzes performance - Safely roll out features to select users or cohorts with feature flags - Send out fully customizable surveys to specific cohorts of users - Connect to external services and manage data flows with PostHog CDP PostHog is available with hosting in the EU or US and is fully SOC 2 compliant. It's free to get started and comes with a generous monthly free tier: - 1 million product analytics events - 5k session replays - 1 million feature flag requests - 250 survey responses We're constantly adding new features, with web analytics and data warehouse now in beta! ## Table of Contents - [Get started for free](#get-started-for-free) - [Docs](#docs) - [Contributing](#contributing) - [Philosophy](#philosophy) - [Open-source vs paid](#open-source-vs-paid) ## Get started for free ### PostHog Cloud (Recommended) The fastest and most reliable way to get started with PostHog is signing up for free to [PostHog Cloud](https://us.posthog.com/signup) or [PostHog Cloud EU](https://eu.posthog.com/signup). Your first 1 million events (and 5k replays) are free every month, after which you pay based on usage. ### Open-source hobby deploy (Advanced) You can deploy a hobby instance in one line on Linux with Docker (recommended 4GB memory): ```bash /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/posthog/posthog/HEAD/bin/deploy-hobby)" ``` Open source deployments should scale to approximately 100k events per month, after which we recommend migrating to a PostHog Cloud instance. See our [docs for more info and limitations](https://posthog.com/docs/self-host/open-source/deployment). Please note that we do not provide customer support for open source deployments. ## Docs ![ui-demo](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/85295485/144591577-fe97e4a5-5631-4a60-a684-45caf421507f.gif)

To do that, we build product and data tools that help you understand user behavior without losing control of your data. In our view, third-party analytics tools do not work in a world of cookie deprecation, GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, and many other four-letter acronyms. PostHog is the alternative to sending all of your customers' personal information and usage data to third-parties. PostHog gives you every tool you need to understand user behavior, develop and test improvements, and release changes to make your product more successful. PostHog operates in public as much as possible. We detail how we work and our learning on building and running a fast-growing, product-focused startup in our [handbook](https://posthog.com/handbook/getting-started/start-here). ## Open-source vs. paid This repo is available under the [MIT expat license](https://github.com/PostHog/posthog/blob/master/LICENSE), except for the `ee` directory (which has it's [license here](https://github.com/PostHog/posthog/blob/master/ee/LICENSE)) if applicable.
