A PostHog alternative that stays focused on iOS.
PostHog does nearly everything — analytics, replay, flags, experiments, surveys, SQL — and you can self-host it. Tapll does less, for one kind of product: an iOS app with subscriptions and a site, where the App Store is half the story.
Tapll and PostHog, side by side.
| Feature | ||
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | 100,000 events a month | 1M events, 5k replays, 1M flag requests a month |
| Session replay on iOS | No: No session replay | Yes: Recorded by the iOS SDK |
| Crash reporting | Yes: Built in, grouped into issues, named with dSYMs | Partly: Error tracking with dSYM upload; system frames not symbolicated |

| Self-hosting | No: Hosted only | Partly: MIT Docker deployment, officially unsupported |

Why teams pick Tapll over PostHog.
No assembly
Views that answer iOS questions directly, without dashboards, insights or SQL to set up.
The App Store built in
Downloads, conversion per market, proceeds, reviews and keyword positions from Apple.
Releases as a first-class thing
Adoption, crash-free rate, TestFlight and the before/after of each version on one page.
When PostHog is the better choice.
- You want feature flags, experiments, surveys and replay in one tool.
- You want to write SQL against your events.
- You want to self-host, or need Android, Flutter or React Native as well.
