The PostHog for Startups offer explained
PostHog awards $50K in platform credits that reduce or eliminate your costs for all PostHog products—product analytics, session replay, feature flags, A/B testing, and surveys—for a full 12-month period. Credits apply directly to your PostHog account; usage is metered against the credit balance. Once credits expire or are exhausted, you move to standard PostHog pricing (which includes a free tier for basic analytics).

Who should apply — and who shouldn't
Apply if
- You're building a B2B or B2C product and need product analytics, session replay, and feature flags without assembling a fragmented tool stack.
- You want to self-host your analytics infrastructure for data residency, privacy, or compliance reasons (GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2).
- You're developer-founded and prefer open-source tooling with transparent pricing and no vendor lock-in.
- You're under 2 years old, have raised <$5M, and want to preserve runway by eliminating $500–$2K/month in analytics SaaS costs.
Skip if
- Your startup is over 2 years old or has raised $5M+ (you won't qualify for the program).
- You need enterprise support, SSO, or advanced compliance features—PostHog's startup tier may not include premium SLAs.
- You prefer a fully managed, zero-ops analytics platform and don't want to manage self-hosted infrastructure or deal with deployment complexity.
