PostHog is a broad, capable platform — and with that breadth comes usage-based pricing across products and a heavier setup. For many teams that is more surface area than they need.
Nohmo focuses on the essentials done well — analytics, journeys, and error monitoring in one lightweight cookieless SDK — at a flat price, with deterministic mobile install attribution built in. Here is how they stack up.

Which one should you pick?
Choose PostHog if…
- •You want replay, flags, experiments and analytics from one vendor.
- •Open source or self-hosting is a requirement.
- •Web is your primary surface.
Choose Nohmo if…
- •React Native is your primary surface and you want first-class mobile support.
- •You want native crash capture and rage-tap detection built in.
- •You prefer a smaller, lighter SDK and a flat bill.
Where Nohmo falls short today
- •PostHog is a much broader product — session replay, feature flags, experiments, surveys and a data warehouse. We have none of those.
- •It is open source and self-hostable, which we are not.
- •Its free tier is large, and for a team that wants everything in one place PostHog covers more ground.
Why teams choose Nohmo
Flat, not usage-metered
One predictable price per project instead of usage-based billing that spans analytics, replay, and more.
Deterministic install attribution
Attribute app installs to the exact ad click via the Play Store referrer and iOS pasteboard — no MMP required.
Lightweight by design
One small SDK and a one-line provider. The essentials, without a platform-sized configuration surface.
