Self-hosted analytics overview
What is Vectr4?
Vectr4 is self-hosted product analytics for founders who want to understand product usage without shipping every event to another analytics platform.
Why not just use PostHog?
Avoid event-volume surprises and vendor tradeoffs
PostHog is powerful, but indie founders can hit pricing, data-policy, or deployment constraints. Vectr4 keeps the analytics footprint smaller and self-hosted.
Analytics for indie hackers and small SaaS teams
Built for small teams that ship fast
Track product behavior, demo usage, signups, checkout paths, and activation journeys without adopting an enterprise analytics suite too early.
Deploy analytics on your own VPS
Use infrastructure you already understand
The V1 package is designed for Docker Compose on a VPS, so your analytics dashboard, event ingestion, and configuration live on your infrastructure.
Keep product data under your control
Control where customer activity data is stored
Vectr4 gives founders a practical way to keep product analytics, customer event data, and usage signals under their own deployment instead of adding another third-party data destination.
Product preview

Session summaries

User journeys
Follow paths across docs, demo, pricing, checkout, and dashboard views.
The problem
Product analytics breaks when pricing, data policy, or sales tiers get in the way.
Vectr4 is built for technical founders who want useful product signals without sending every event to another vendor or buying an enterprise analytics suite.
Problem
PostHog gets expensive as events grow.
Consequence
A launch, bot spike, or growth week can turn basic analytics into a budget decision.
Vectr4 solution
Vectr4 runs on your VPS with predictable server costs.
Problem
Cloud analytics tools send customer data to third-party servers.
Consequence
Every event payload becomes another vendor, policy review, and data-processing concern.
Vectr4 solution
Vectr4 keeps event collection and dashboards inside your own deployment.
Problem
Enterprise platforms bundle features small teams rarely need.
Consequence
Founders pay for seats, governance, and sales-led tiers before they need them.
Vectr4 solution
Vectr4 focuses on events, funnels, sessions, and journeys for early teams.
