COMPARE

Moxel vs PostHog

PostHog does far more than Moxel: session replay, feature flags, experiments, surveys and a data warehouse, with a large free allowance. Moxel does one job, for one person, with nothing to configure.

THEIRS

Pick PostHog if

  • You have a product team, or you are about to.
  • You want session replay, feature flags or A/B tests. Moxel has none of them.
  • You want to follow signed-in users over months. Moxel counts anonymous visitors, a day at a time.
  • You want a big free allowance. PostHog's is generous, and Moxel has no free plan after the trial.
  • You want open source, or to query your raw events yourself.

OURS

Pick Moxel if

  • You are one person and you want an answer, not a platform.
  • You do not want to decide which events to capture, name them, and build the charts.
  • You want numbers that explain themselves in a sentence.
  • You want no cookies without changing a setting. PostHog can run without them, but that is something you turn on.

An answer, not a workspace.

No events to name and no charts to build. This is what the dashboard opens on.

NOT YET

What Moxel does not do.

  • No session recordings and no heatmaps. Moxel counts what people do. It does not film the screen.
  • No visitor locations. Country, region and city are not recorded.
  • Returning visitors only within one week. The code that tells people apart resets every Monday, so someone who comes back next week looks new.
  • No choice of hosting region, and no EU-only hosting.
  • No free plan after the 30-day trial.

BOTH

Can I use Moxel and PostHog together?

You can, but there is little point. If you are already comfortable in PostHog, stay there. Moxel is for the stage before you need it.
