to Mixpanel & Amplitude.

The closest open-source alternatives to Mixpanel and Amplitude are PostHog, Countly, and Matomo. PostHog is the full product suite with funnels, session replay, and feature flags; Countly covers mobile and web engagement; Matomo is the mature enterprise pick. All three are self-hostable.

Teams leave Mixpanel and Amplitude over event-volume pricing that punishes growth and over sending product data to third parties. Self-hosted product analytics keeps every event in-house with no MTU meter running. The tradeoff is pipeline engineering at very large volumes.
