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.

Why teams choose Nohmo
Flat, not usage-metered
One predictable price per project instead of usage-based billing that spans analytics, replay, and more.

Lightweight by design
One small SDK and a one-line provider. The essentials, without a platform-sized configuration surface.
