Comparison · June 2026
Servoki vs PostHog
PostHog is a full product analytics platform; Servoki is deliberately narrow — privacy-first web analytics plus consented conversion tracking. These tools overlap less than you'd think. Here's an honest comparison — including where PostHog is the better choice.
Verdict
CHOOSE SERVOKI IF…
- You want cookieless, banner-free marketing analytics — simple enough for the whole team
- You run paid acquisition and need conversions back in Meta — with consent handled properly
- You want EU-hosted simplicity with PII auto-masking, not a platform to administer
CHOOSE POSTHOG IF…
- You need deep product analytics: session replay, feature flags, experiments, SQL access
- The free tier matters — 1M events/month free, forever, is genuinely generous
- Open source and a mature platform with a large community are requirements

Pricing
Price at real traffic volumes
PostHog is usage-based: 1M events/month free forever (1 project, 1-year retention on the free plan), then per-event pricing that starts around $0.00005/event and drops steeply with volume, plus optional platform packages (Boost $250/mo, Scale $750/mo). Servoki is flat-tiered. Below: web analytics events only, no platform packages.
| Monthly volume | Servoki | PostHog |
|---|---|---|
| ~100k | €9 (Starter, 100k events) | $0 — inside the 1M free tier |
| ~1M | €29 (Growth, 1M events + Meta CAPI) | $0 at exactly 1M; ~$0.00005/event beyond (≈$50 per extra 1M) |
| ~10M | €99 (Scale, 10M events) | Usage-based; rate falls with volume (toward ~$0.000009/event at 250M+) |

The real difference
PostHog is a platform for understanding your product. Servoki is a tool for measuring your marketing — without a banner.
If you're an engineer-led team debugging activation, retention and feature adoption, PostHog is excellent and probably free for you: session replay, feature flags, experiments and SQL over your events, open source, with 1M events a month on the house. Servoki doesn't try to compete with that depth, and won't.
The trade-off is on the marketing side. PostHog's full feature set — replay, persistent identification, cross-session profiles — typically puts you back in consent-banner territory in the EU, and wiring conversions to ad platforms with proper consent gating is a setup project. Servoki's whole design is that path made default: cookieless analytics with no banner, daily-rotating salted hashes instead of profiles, PII auto-masking, and consent-gated Meta CAPI forwarding with event deduplication built in, hosted in the EU.
Plenty of teams run both: PostHog for product analytics behind login, Servoki for the public site and the paid-acquisition loop. If you're migrating, the web analytics part is a one-line script swap; historical import isn't available in early access.
