Tiny Funnel steps
PostHog
  1. 1 Sign up and add the snippet, or install the SDK
  2. 2 Let autocapture run, then work out which captured events are your steps
  3. 3 Add custom events for the steps a click cannot prove, like the purchase your webhook confirms
  4. 4 Wait for enough events to arrive to build with
  5. 5 Open Product Analytics and create a new funnel insight
  6. 6 Add each step as an event, in order, then set the conversion window
  7. 7 Save the insight to a dashboard so it is still there next week
  8. 🥱 A funnel, inside a platform that can answer anything
Tiny Funnel
  1. 1 Paste one script tag on your site
  2. 2 Click through your own signup flow with the recorder on
  3. 3 Add a server event for the step your backend confirms, if you have one
  4. 💡 The funnel is drawn, and it is the page you land on from now on

built for answers, not data scientists

Tiny Funnel is obsessed with getting you answers as quickly as possible. The funnel is the page that loads when you log in, and any visitor's whole journey is one click away.

See your funnel from every angle

The main view is always your funnel. You choose which visitors and from when and where.

See a visitor's full journey

Where they came from, which campaign, every page they touched, and whether they bounced, came back later, or converted.

what each one does

PostHog against Tiny Funnel, on the things that decide it.

Capability PostHog PostHog Tiny Funnel Tiny Funnel
Time to a first funnel PostHog Install the snippet, let events accumulate, then build a funnel insight in Product Analytics. Tiny Funnel One script tag, then click through your own site with the recorder on. Live in about two minutes.
What the dashboard opens on PostHog A project home for the whole suite. The funnel is an insight you build and pin. Tiny Funnel The funnel. It is the page, not a report you go and find.
How a step is defined PostHog An event, with step ordering, exclusions and breakdowns once the event exists. Tiny Funnel A URL, a click, a server event, or an element that contains particular text. Recorded by clicking, so nothing is instrumented first.
What else is in the box PostHog Session replay, feature flags, experiments, surveys, error tracking and SQL access. Tiny Funnel Nothing else, on purpose. One funnel view and the journeys behind it.
One visitor's journey PostHog Person profiles with an event history, once your events identify them. Tiny Funnel Every visitor's full journey, return visits included, ending on the step they stopped at.
A step your backend confirms PostHog Server-side libraries for the major languages, stitched together with your own distinct id. Tiny Funnel Post the event to one endpoint with the funnel's API key and it lands on the right visitor's journey.
Self-hosting PostHog An open-source deploy you can run yourself, offered without support. Tiny Funnel Hosted only. There is nothing to run.
Pricing PostHog Usage-based per product, with a free tier that covers the first million events each month. Tiny Funnel $10 a month per active funnel. No seats, no event counting, and pausing a funnel stops the bill.

which one is yours

Both answer real questions. They are not the same question.

Stay on PostHog if
  • You want analytics, replay, flags, experiments and surveys as one platform
  • Activation, retention and feature adoption are questions you actually ask
  • Your team is technical and happy owning an event taxonomy
  • The free tier covers you, and it covers a lot
  • You want to self-host, or want SQL access to your own events
Switch to Tiny Funnel if
  • The question you keep asking is who converts, and where the rest went
  • Nobody here wants to design events or label captured clicks
  • You want the funnel drawn at log-in, not an insight to rebuild
  • You want a bill that never moves with traffic
  • You sell software, a course or another virtual good
PostHog

what PostHog does better

  • The free tier is genuinely generous. The first million events each month cost nothing
  • Breadth for the money. Replay, feature flags, experiments, surveys and SQL access in one product
  • It is open source, and you can run it yourself
  • Server-side libraries for every major language, not one HTTP endpoint
  • Retention, cohorts and product usage questions we do not answer at all
  • Developer docs and a public roadmap that set the bar for the category

Running both is the common case

The two tools do not compete for the same slot on the page, and they answer different questions. Keep PostHog on the product, where activation and retention live, and put the Tiny Funnel tag on the marketing site and the signup flow, where the question is who arrived, how far they got and who paid. The scripts do not interfere, and the numbers will differ at the top of the funnel because Tiny Funnel is cookie-less and counts everyone who loaded the page.

The honest version

For a technical founder who wants the whole toolkit, PostHog may simply be the better answer, and this page would rather say that than pretend otherwise. The distinction is not quality, it is the question. PostHog is what you install when you want one tool for everything. Tiny Funnel is what you install when you want one answer, drawn on screen at log-in, with nothing to instrument first.

The short version

If you want a platform, PostHog is a good one and the free tier is real. If the only question is who converts, this opens on the answer and costs $10 a month.

frequently asked questions

Can I run Tiny Funnel and PostHog at the same time?

Yes, and it is a sensible pairing. PostHog watches how people use the product, Tiny Funnel watches who reaches it and buys. The two scripts do not interfere, and neither cares that the other is there.

Is PostHog really free?

For most small products, yes. On their pricing page today the free tier covers the first million events a month, and PostHog itself says more than 90% of companies use it for free. Usage-based pricing starts past the free allowances, and the bill then has one input per product you use.

Does PostHog have funnels?

Yes, good ones. A funnel is an insight you build in Product Analytics, with step ordering, exclusions and breakdowns. The difference is not the feature, it is the work before it. A PostHog funnel is built out of events that have to exist first, and a Tiny Funnel funnel is recorded by clicking through your own site.

Why pay $10 a month when PostHog has a free tier?

You are paying for what you skip. No event taxonomy to design, no captured clicks to label, no insight to build and pin, and the funnel is the page that loads when you log in. If those moves cost you nothing, PostHog free is the better deal and we would rather say so.

Does Tiny Funnel autocapture clicks the way PostHog does?

Not by default. Click capture is a switch, off until you turn it on, and when you do it records clicks on interactive elements only, never typed values. Funnel steps do not depend on it either way. Steps are recorded by clicking through your own site in setup mode, and a step can also be a page view, a page state or a server event.

What does Tiny Funnel not do?

Session replay, feature flags, experiments, surveys, SQL access, retention and behavioural cohorts. That is most of what PostHog sells, and if you want those things you want PostHog. This is funnel analytics. How visitors reach you, which of them buy, and how far each cohort of your traffic gets down the funnel, with the journeys behind it, priced per funnel.

Cookie-less means no consent banner, right?

Not something we can promise. Consent obligations depend on where you are and on everything else running on your site, and Tiny Funnel does keep a visitor id in local storage. What we can tell you is what it does. No cookies, no fingerprinting, no cross-site tracking, nothing shared with ad networks, and typed values never captured.

the bottom line

Two honest summaries, then the shortest way to decide.

PostHog PostHog

PostHog is what you install when you want one platform for everything, and for a technical team it is a very good version of that deal. The free tier is real, the breadth is real, and if the question is how people use the product once they are inside, it answers things we never will.

Tiny Funnel Tiny Funnel

Tiny Funnel is funnel analytics. Where visitors come from, which of them buy, and how far and how often each cohort gets down your funnel. There is nothing to instrument and nothing to assemble, and it is cookie-less, so everyone who loaded the page is in the count.
