Ask questions about how people use your product

Literally every piece of SaaS that a product engineer needs. This includes tools for building products, talking to customers, and making sense of all your customer data. PostHog is a single platform for people who build things. PostHog was hatched in Y Combinator's W20 batch. We launched on Hacker News with our MVP in 2020 – just 4 weeks after we started writing code. The response was overwhelmingly positive. But our approach to building PostHog is very different. We're building the company we've always wanted to work for. This means rejecting all the annoying parts of the SaaS industry that have somehow become industry-standard. If it gives you the ick, you know it gives us the ick too. You can sum it up our ideology with this: we try to treat you how we'd want to be treated. While Salesforce hikes prices 6% annually, PostHog proves there's room for startups that do the exact opposite of what private equity-backed software companies typically do. The TLDR newsletter highlighted an article that covered some of the key things that make us different. Here are a few more they missed: The reason we uniquely love doing all these sorts of things is that we grow because of our reputation on the internet, whereas every single competitor grows by salespeople. This aligns us with customers. Long term, that is what wins. You can see how our entire company operates. You won't get this level of transparency from most companies! Sure, building one product is great, but why stop there? We're going to build every piece of SaaS you need to make your product successful. You read that right. We've already got the world's best track record at delivering them by being the widest with so many customers. Companies with large sales teams use value-based pricing where they try to suss out how much you're willing to spend. PostHog operates more like a utility – we cover our costs with razor thin margins, and we make up for it with scale. PostHog is always cheaper than the cheapest major competitor, so you know you don't have to compare pricing for each new product. And because every product has a generous free tier, you can always try it out before paying anything at all. Without talking to sales. Because our pricing is completely transparent. The team at a recent offsite in Tulum Nobody wants to be a sheep, but it's probably a good sign when something is very popular. Whether you're looking to bring PostHog into your business – or if you're looking to build products with us – we hope you leave our portal on the internet with the understanding that we're here to build a generational company. This isn't a bait-and-switch scheme or an attempt to exit in a few years. We're building the company we've always wanted to work for – and the type of organization that we'd want to buy software from. If we haven't convinced you yet, come back to our site in a few

Statsig

Statsig is your modern product development platform, with an integrated toolkit for experimentation, feature management, product analytics, session re

When you first sign up for Statsig, you automatically start on Statsig’s Developer Tier, which gives you free access to gates, configs, experimentation and analytics. On this plan, you get 2 million Metered Events (see definition below) every calendar month at no charge. If you need more features or additional Metered Events, you can upgrade to our Pro or Enterprise tiers at any time. If you are using Statsig at scale, you can take advantage of the volume discounts offered as a part of Statsig’s Enterprise Tier. At Statsig, our pricing philosophy is to charge for features that 1) cost us money and 2) create value for our customers. Accordingly, we’ve chosen a usage-based pricing model, where users are charged for the events and exposures their applications sends to Statsig. A good example of this pricing philosophy is how Statsig charges for Feature Flags. We provide users with the ability to toggle the calculation for Metric Lifts associated with their rollout on or off. By default we don’t charge customers for any exposures associated with 0 or 100% roll-outs. We would only charge a customer when they’ve togggled Metric Lifts on and when the gate is a partial roll-out (meaning there are valid Metric Lift computations). Statsig bills customers based on the number of Metered Events they use. Metered Events are a subset of events which power analytics or metrics workflows. These workflows are compute storage intensive. The following types of events/ metrics are defined as “Metered Events : Statsig dedupes exposure events for the same user and feature/experiment on our client SDKs (60m window; proxy for session duration) and server SDKs (1m window; proxy for user request handling). Experiment checks that result in no allocation (e.g. the experiment hasn’t started, or has finished) or Feature Flags that have been disabled (fully shipped or abandoned with no rule evaluation) do not generate Metered Events. By default, customers are able to include one event dimension (via Value field) with each log event for free. Customers are charged an additional log event for each additional dimension added. If you exceed the 2 million Developer Tier events limit, you’ll be shown a prompt to enter a credit card to upgrade to Statsig’s Pro tier. If you want to stay on the Developer tier, gate and config targeting will continue to work, but Metric Lift computations will stop. You will be sent multiple warning notifications before Metric Lifts are no longer calculated. Statsig’s Pro Tier includes 5 million Metered Events per month. Once you exceed this amount, you’ll be charged $0.05 per additional 1K events used within the month billing period. This overage fee will be included in your monthly bill, which will be charged to the credit card on file. If you want to lower your bill, you can switch to an Enterprise plan at any point. We offer significant volume discounts to Enterprise customers, dramatically reducing costs at scale. Reach out to our sales
