Frequently asked questions
Is Dashly a good PostHog alternative for web analytics?
Yes. If you're using PostHog primarily for web analytics (visitors, pageviews, sources), Dashly gives you the same data with bot filtering, revenue attribution, and a cleaner dashboard — without the complexity of PostHog's 9-product bundle.
Does Dashly have feature flags and A/B testing?
Not yet. Dashly focuses on analytics, revenue attribution, and session replays. If feature flags and experiments are core to your workflow, PostHog is the better choice. If you want clean web analytics without the bloat, Dashly wins.
How does pricing compare?
PostHog has a free tier then charges per event — your bill grows with traffic, including bots. Dashly starts at $10/mo per site with bot filtering included, so your bill stays predictable.
Can I migrate from PostHog to Dashly?
Yes. Add the Dashly snippet alongside your PostHog install, verify data is flowing, then remove PostHog. Dashly starts collecting immediately — no data import needed for going-forward analytics.
Does Dashly have session replays like PostHog?
Yes. Dashly records privacy-safe session replays with masked inputs, no cookies, and no personal data. PostHog also offers replays but they're heavier and cookie-based.
