Capability matrix

Grouped by area. Every state carries a word as well as a colour, and anything the catalog has not established stays neutral rather than counting as a missing feature.

Listed by one tool only

8 capabilities are published by a single tool in this set. That does not mean the others lack them — only that the catalog has not established an answer either way.

Pros & cons

Strengths and compromises

Each tool's published strengths and the compromises that come with them, as supplied — not scored or ranked against each other. Longer lists fold; nothing is left out.

FullStory

Pros

  • Replay quality helps teams understand real behavior
  • Friction signals speed up issue discovery quickly
  • AI summaries reduce manual session review time
  • Free plan includes 30,000 monthly sessions

PostHog

Pros

  • Bundles analytics, replay, flags, and experiments together
  • Usage pricing offers strong early-stage value clearly

Cons

  • Non-technical teams may find setup less polished

  • Costs can grow across multiple product modules

Pricing

What each one costs

Published pricing signals only. Where a tool has not established a price, that is what it says — never a zero and never "free".
