Best open-source Analytics

The best open-source analytics in the c17.io catalog split by job: Swetrix or traffic-source for privacy-friendly pageviews, PostHog for product analytics and replay, Metabase for BI, and Jitsu when you need a Segment-shaped CDP. Umami is named on the Swetrix stack but is not a Crew catalog row, so it is not ranked here.

FAQ

Swetrix or PostHog?
Swetrix (or traffic-source) for pageviews. PostHog when you need funnels and replay. That split is how the stacks are published.
Where is Umami?
Named on /stacks/swetrix-analytics as a Dave-stack add. It is not in the Crew catalog dump, so this ranking cannot list it.
Are these free?
Open-source or fair-code; you pay hosting and any warehouse you attach. Template users never pay c17.
How do I deploy it?
Start with the Swetrix analytics stack for a snippet, or PostHog insights if you need replay. Railway CTAs stay on those stack pages.
