+## 1. PostHog
+
+- **Founded:** 2020
+- **Similar to:** Heap, Matomo
+- **Typical users:** Engineers and product teams
+- **Typical customers:** Mid-size B2Bs and startups
+
+
+
+### What is PostHog?
+
+[PostHog](/) (that's us ๐) is an open source platform combining web analytics, product analytics, session replay, A/B testing, feature flags, and user surveys into one product. This means it's not only an alternative to Fathom but also tools like [Mixpanel](/blog/posthog-vs-mixpanel), [LaunchDarkly](/blog/posthog-vs-launchdarkly), and [Hotjar](/blog/posthog-vs-hotjar).
+
+According to [BuiltWith](https://trends.builtwith.com/analytics/PostHog), as of October 2024, 5,330 of the top 1 million websites deploy PostHog. Significantly more than the 1,832 using Fathom.
+
+#### Key features
+
+- ๐ **Web analytics:** Monitor your web traffic by automatically capturing and calculating metrics like visitors, pageviews, session duration, and bounce rate. See the sources, entry and exit paths, channels, and more.
+
+- ๐ **Product analytics:** Custom trends, funnels, user paths, retention analysis, and segment user cohorts. Also, direct [SQL querying](/docs/product-analytics/sql) for full customization.
+
+- ๐บ **Session replays:** View exactly how users are using your site. Includes event timelines, console logs, network activity, and 90-day data retention.
+
+- ๐ฌ **Surveys:** Target surveys by event or user properties. Templates for [net promoter score (NPS)](/templates/nps-survey), [product-market fit (PMF)](/templates/pmf-survey) surveys, and more.
+
+- ๐งช **A/B tests:** Optimize your app and website with up to nine test variations and track impact on primary and secondary metrics. Automatically calculate test duration, sample size, and statistical significance.
+
+### How does PostHog compare to Fathom?
+
+Fathom focuses entirely on web analytics while PostHog includes web analytics with a whole suite of tools for analyzing and improving your site and app. This means PostHog has a wider feature set while still offering the privacy-prerserving options Fathom prides itself on. PostHog is also open source and provides a generous free tier, neither of which is true of Fathom.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+> ๐ก **Good to know:** Fathom has a slightly different approach to complying with EU privacy regulations. They do so by:
+> 1. Being a Canadian company. The European Commission determined that Canada has an adequate level of data protection.
+> 2. Having EU isolation so visitor data is routed and stored on EU servers.
+> 3. Having a data processing agreement (DPA) available.
+
+### Why do companies use PostHog?
+
+According to [reviews on G2](https://www.g2.com/products/posthog/reviews), companies use PostHog because:
+
+1. **It replaces multiple tools:** PostHog can replace Fathom (web analytics), [Fullstory](/blog/posthog-vs-fullstory) (session replay), and [LaunchDarkly](/blog/posthog-vs-launchdarkly) (feature flags and A/B testing). This simplifies workflows and ensures product data is all in one place.
+
+2. **Pricing is transparent and scalable:** Reviewers appreciate how PostHog's pricing scales as they grow. There's a [generous free tier](/pricing) they can use forever. Companies eligible for [PostHog for Startups](/startups) also get $50k in additional free credits.
+
+3. **They need a complete picture of users:** PostHog includes every tool necessary to understand users and improve products. This means creating funnels to track conversion, watching replays to see where users get stuck, testing solutions with A/B tests, and gathering feedback with user surveys.
+
+> #### Bottom line
+> Because PostHog is free and includes the core web analytics and privacy features of Fathom, it makes an excellent alternative. This is especially true for startups and scaleups looking for a range of tools to help them build a better product.
+
+
+
+## 2. Plausible

+
+- ๐๏ธ **Lightweight:** Plausible's script is less than 1kB, making it significantly smaller than competitors.
+
+### How does Plausible compare to Fathom?
+
+Plausible is the closest like-for-like competitor to Fathom. Both focus on privacy-friendly web analytics, but they do have some fundamental differences. Plausible is open source, EU built and hosted, and enables users to capture properties with their custom events.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+> ๐ก **Good to know:** Although they don't have a free plan, both Plausible and Fathom offer a 30-day free trial.
+
+### Why do companies use Plausible?
+
+According to social media, users choose Plausible for the following reasons:

+
+### How does Matomo compare to Fathom?
+
+Although both Matomo and Fathom position themselves as privacy-friendly [Google Analytics alternative](/blog/ga4-alternatives), Matomo is much more fully featured. Matomo has a range of paid add-ons for features like session replays, heatmaps, search performance, and A/B testing.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+> ๐ก **Good to know:**

+> - Although Matomo does offer a script install, it's not simple. It's 12 lines long with a number of confusing configuration options.
+
+### Why do companies use Matomo?
+
+According to reviews on [G2](https://www.g2.com/products/matomo-formerly-piwik/reviews), people choose Matomo because:

+
+> #### Bottom line
+> For Fathom users looking for other privacy-friendly, GA-like options will find Matomo a good one. It does lack the free plan of other tools but does at least provide a free trial.
+
+
+

+
+- **Founded:** 2022
+- **Similar to:** Fathom, Plausible
+- **Typical users:** Developers and content-focused teams

+
+
+
+### What is Umami?
+
+Umami is an open source, easy-to-use Google Analytics alternative. Like other similar tools, it is privacy-friendly. This means data is anonymized, no personal data is saved, you don't need a cookie banner, and comply with GDPR.

+
+
+
+
+
+

+
+

+- **Typical users:** Marketing and business teams reliant on Google's ecosystem
+- **Typical customers:** Small businesses and massive enterprises
+

+### What is Google Analytics?
+
+Google Analytics has long been the go-to choice for website and app analytics thanks to Google's huge market share, a large amount of informational content, and its connection with the rest of the Google suite.
+
+Google Analytics recently switched fully over from session-based Universal Analytics (GA3) to event-based GA4. This also introduced conversion funnels and retention tables that product teams are fans of.
+
+Google Analytics is still massively popular. According to [BuiltWith](https://trends.builtwith.com/analytics/Google-Analytics), as of October 2024, 489,524 of the top 1 million websites deploy Google Analytics and a comparatively tiny 1,832 use Fathom.

+
+- โจ๏ธ **Natural language search:** Ask specific questions, like "MoM growth in users on iOS", rather than searching existing reports.
+
+- ๐ธ **Revenue metrics:** Connect metrics to marketing spend and revenue conversion to get a full picture of ROI.
+
+### How does Google Analytics compare to Fathom?
+
+Fathom positions itself as a privacy-friendly Google Analytics alternative. They both have a focus on web analytics, but Google Analytics has expanded to include some product analytics features over the years.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+

+
+## 7. Heap
+
+- **Founded:** 2013
+- **Similar to:** PostHog
+- **Typical users:** Product and marketing teams
+- **Typical customers:** B2C SaaS and ecommerce companies with a user experience focus.
+
+
+
+### What is Heap?
+
+[Heap](/blog/posthog-vs-heap) describes itself as a digital insights platform. This means it offers both product analytics and session replay and supports marketing use cases with multi-touch attribution. Contentsquare, a marketing and ecommerce analytics firm, [acquired Heap in September 2023](https://contentsquare.com/heap/) and announced plans to integrate the two products.
+
+According to [BuiltWith](https://trends.builtwith.com/analytics/Heap), as of October 2024, 2824 of the top 1 million websites deploy Heap. 1832 use Fathom.
+
+#### Key features
+
+- โ
**Event autocapture:** Product teams don't need to rely on engineers to instrument all events. Heap has a visual editor for teams to tag events directly on-page for analysis.
+
+- ๐บ **Session replay:** Get qualitative insights about user behavior by replaying their session โ although this lacks the debugging tools typical of most replay tools.
+
+- ๐ฅ **Heatmaps:** See where people click, what point they scroll to, and the areas that get the most attention.
+
+- ๐ค **Analysis suggestions**: Advanced data science capabilities discover hidden interactions, friction points, and knowledge about key paths.
+
+- ๐ **Managed ETL:** Connect to data warehouses, so you can combine your analytics with other sources and get a fuller picture of the entire user journey.
+
+### How does Heap compare to Fathom?
+
+Heap has a different focus than Fathom. It doesn't have a simple web analytics view but does have a full suite of product analytics tools including autocapture.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+### Why do companies use Heap?
+
+According to G2 reviews, companies enjoy these three areas of Heap:
+
+1. **Autocapture:** Non-technical users love how easy autocapture makes tracking on their site. Along with the element data included, this provides a huge amount of useful analytics data with little setup.
+
+2. **Simple setup:** It does not take a big technical effort to set Heap up. Users can add a single script and begin collecting data. They then make it easy to visualize that data through user paths, funnels, and session replays.
+
+3. **Streamlining analysis:** By having analytics and session replay data in one place, Heap makes it easy to understand the usage of their app or site. This replaces interviews or user testing and makes the development cycle faster.
+
+> #### Bottom line
+> For those looking for product analytics, Heap is a good tool to consider. It does lack the simple web analytics view and some of the compliance features Fathom users might care about though.
+
+
+
+## Is PostHog right for you?
+
+Here's the (short) sales pitch.
+
+We're biased, obviously, but we think PostHog is the perfect Fathom replacement if:
+
+- You want all the tools to help you build a better product (like product analytics, session replay, and A/B testing).
+- You value transparency. We're open source and open core.
+- You want to try before you buy. We're self-serve with a [generous free tier](/pricing).

+Check out [our product pages](/web-analytics) and [read our docs](/docs) to learn more.

While based in Canada, Fathom offers EU-hosting. It also employs what it calls intelligent routing. This ensures that non-EU users are routed via its US servers, while EU users are routed via its EU-based and owned servers. Fathom claims this means non-EU visitors get better performance compared to other, similar services that use EU-only hosting.

**If you're already using PostHog**, we recommend creating a dashboard featuring your chosen North Star metric (plus other [key product metrics](/blog/b2b-saas-product-metrics)) and adding it to your PostHog project homepage. This ensures you and your team can keep an eye on progress each time you login. Better still, you can have regular updates on any insight or dashboard delivered to a Slack group on any schedule you choose โ subscriptions are accessible via the '...' menu. Read our [product manual](/using-posthog) for guidance on the different types of insights you can create.
