TL;DR comparison summary
PostHog is a popular product analytics platform, primarily focused on developers and technical teams. While it offers a chunk of features including session recordings, feature flags, and A/B testing, this complexity can be overwhelming for many users. PostHog's extensive feature set often requires technical expertise to set up and maintain effectively.
Seline is a modern alternative to PostHog, crafted with care by a team that prioritizes simplicity and ease of use. With Seline less is more, meaning everything could be set up in minutes, and is very digestible not only for technical users, but also for founders and product managers. Seline's feature set is carefully cherry-picked to bring the 20/80 rule to the core.
Seline is simpler than PostHog
But in a good way. Enjoy analytics that is both easier and more enjoyable to use.

Data policy
While PostHog offers self-hosting options for complete data control, this comes with the complexity of managing your own infrastructure. Their cloud solution, while convenient, may not meet all privacy requirements for some organizations, like not having a cookie-less website analytics option.
Seline takes a straightforward approach to privacy. We're completely cookie-less, making compliance with privacy regulations simpler. Your visitors' data stays private, and our script doesn't track people across websites. We never sell data and we don't share it either. It's securely kept on our servers in Germany (EU).
Seline complies with GDPR and other privacy regulations while keeping things simple for you.
Installation
PostHog's installation process can be complex, especially if you're looking to implement their full set of features. You often need technical expertise to properly configure event tracking, feature flags, and other advanced features.
With Seline, it's just a quick script installation and you're ready to go. No complex configuration, no cookie banners needed, and no technical expertise required.
Script size
Seline's script weighs only ~2kb, making it significantly lighter than PostHog's full implementation. This minimal footprint ensures your website's performance isn't impacted while still getting all the analytics you need.
Complexity
PostHog is built for technical teams and developers, offering powerful but complex features like feature flags, A/B testing, and session recordings. While these features are valuable, they can be overwhelming if you just need clear, actionable analytics.
Seline focuses hard on being easy to set up, and easy to use. It usually takes just minutes to understand how Seline works. Need to track custom events or check user behavior? It's all at your fingertips, served quickly and clearly.
