Migrate from PostHog to TrackFox

PostHog's pay-per-event pricing is unpredictable. TrackFox gives you fixed pricing and simpler analytics.

Why PostHog Users Switch

The PostHog Problems

"Pricing surprises"

• Pay-per-event ($0.000225/event)
• Bill can balloon unexpectedly
• Hard to predict costs
• Example: 5M events = $1,125/month

"Feature bloat"

• Session replay (you don't need)
• Feature flags (have other tools)
• Experiments (not using)
• Paying for features you don't use

"Complex setup"

• Requires SDK integration
• Manual event instrumentation
• Steep learning curve

"Self-hosting headaches"

• DevOps overhead
• Maintenance burden
• Security concerns

Migration Steps

Step 1: Calculate Your PostHog Costs

How much are you really paying?

Step 3: Install TrackFox

Replace PostHog SDK:

Old (PostHog):

posthog.init("YOUR_API_KEY", {
  api_host: "https://app.posthog.com",
});
posthog.capture("event_name", { property: "value" });

New (TrackFox):

<script
  defer
  src="https://trackfox.app/script.js"
  data-website-id="your-website-id"
></script>

window?.trackfox("event_name", { property: "value" });

Much simpler!

---

Step 4: Migrate Events

Map PostHog events to TrackFox:

PostHog:

posthog.capture("Signup Completed", {
  plan: "pro",
  source: "google",
});

TrackFox:

window?.trackfox("signup_completed", {
  plan: "pro",
  source: "google",
});

Nearly identical syntax.

---

Step 5: Set Up Funnels

PostHog funnels → TrackFox funnels

1. Dashboard → Funnels → Create
2. Add same steps you had in PostHog
3. See conversion rates

Same functionality, clearer interface.

---

Step 6: Connect Revenue

Better than PostHog's revenue tracking:

1. Dashboard → Integrations
2. Connect payment processor
3. Automatic attribution

No manual revenue events needed.

---

Step 7: Export PostHog Data (Optional)

Want historical data?

1. Export PostHog data (CSV or API)
2. Contact TrackFox support
3. Import into TrackFox

---

Step 8: Remove PostHog

Once comfortable:

1. Verify tracking works
2. Remove PostHog SDK
3. Cancel PostHog
4. Save hundreds per month
