Where we win
No platform to adopt
You don't have to run your analytics, flags, and replay on us to send a survey. Drop in the SDK, and that's the whole commitment.
Built for the PM, not the analyst
The product is designed around setting up surveys and reading AI-summarized insights — not around a query builder and event graphs.
Micro-survey specialized
Surveys are the product, not a feature we maintain on the side — so the survey UX, targeting, and insights are the thing we obsess over.
When PostHog Surveys may be the better pick
If your team already runs on PostHog for product analytics, feature flags, and session replay, switching on their built-in Surveys is a genuine no-brainer — it's one less tool and the data all lives together. We're for teams who want great surveys without buying into the whole platform.
