Built for technical founders, indie hackers, and small SaaS teams who want control of their analytics stack.

Why look for a PostHog alternative?

PostHog is powerful, but not every team needs a full analytics platform.

For many early-stage SaaS teams, the real need is simpler: know who is using the product, track the events that matter, see where users drop off, understand sessions and journeys, keep analytics data under control, and avoid growing vendor costs too early.

Core layer

Vectr4 focuses on this core analytics layer

Instead of adopting a large platform before you need it, deploy Vectr4 on your own VPS and start tracking product behavior in a setup you own.

Product analytics alternative

Simple analytics for SaaS founders

Vectr4 vs PostHog

PostHog is powerful. Vectr4 is focused.

PostHog is a broad analytics platform. That is useful for teams that need a large product suite. Vectr4 takes a different path: a focused self-hosted PostHog alternative for small technical teams that want the essential product analytics layer.
