In one paragraph
PostHog grew into a full platform — feature flags, session replay, surveys, A/B tests, LLM observability. It's an impressive amount of product. Millimetric stays narrow: one HTTP endpoint, one MCP server, no second-screen dashboards. If you only need analytics, you pay only for analytics.
Pick PostHog when…
- You want feature flags, session replay, and analytics in one bill.
- You want autocapture so you don't have to instrument by hand.
- Your team prefers a single 'platform' vendor.
Pick Millimetric when…
- You already have a flag tool, a replay tool, and a CDP — and you just want events.
- You want the cleanest possible browser SDK (1.8 KB vs ~50 KB).
- You want an MCP server, not a Notebook UI.

Our verdict
PostHog if you genuinely want a platform — analytics is one of five tools you'd otherwise buy. Millimetric if 'analytics' is the only thing on the shopping list.
FAQ
- Do you do session replay?
- No, and we won't. Session replay is privacy-fraught and bandwidth-heavy. We stay narrow.
- Do you do feature flags?
- No. Pick a focused flag tool (GrowthBook, ConfigCat, OpenFeature). One excellent tool per job.
