Mitr Analytics vs PostHog
This is a different comparison than the others on this site — PostHog isn't primarily a privacy-first analytics tool, it's a full product-analytics platform (session replay, feature flags, experiments, surveys, error tracking) that also does analytics. If you want that whole suite, or you're already comfortable configuring it toward privacy, PostHog is a legitimately strong option with Flutter support of its own.
| Category | PostHog | Mitr Analytics |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Full product-analytics suite (analytics, replay, flags, experiments, surveys, error tracking, data warehouse) | Analytics + funnels + traffic alerts + webhooks |
| Cookie-free by default | No — cookie/localStorage-based distinct_id by default; can be configured toward anonymization | Yes, no configuration needed |
| Free tier | ~1M analytics events/month, plus allowances for other products | 10,000 events/month, no expiry |
| Entry paid price | Usage-based pay-as-you-go past free limits | $7/mo (100,000 events) |
| First-party Flutter SDK | Yes (posthog-flutter) | Yes (iOS, Android, desktop, web) |
| Self-hosting | Yes — open source (MIT), self-hostable | Not currently offered |
| Setup complexity | Higher — many products, more configuration surface | Lower — single script tag or Dart package |

Choose PostHog if…
- You want session replay, feature flags, experiments, and surveys in the same product as your analytics, not separate tools.
- You're comfortable configuring privacy settings yourself rather than getting cookie-free behavior by default.
- You want to self-host a fully open-source stack.
Choose Mitr if…
- You want cookie-free, no-consent-banner analytics out of the box, with nothing to configure.
- You want a lightweight integration — one script tag or one Dart package — not a multi-product platform to set up.
- You need DPDP Act 2023 (India) alignment specifically — see /trust.
What's the same either way
Both ship a genuine first-party Flutter SDK — a rarer trait than it should be in this category. The real fork is scope and privacy defaults: PostHog is a bigger, more configurable platform; Mitr is narrower and privacy-first without any setup required to get there.
