The Verdict
PostHog is built for developers and startups, with a focus on product-analytics and session-replay. Taiga targets agile teams and open source advocates and leads with scrum-boards and kanban.
On pricing, PostHog is the clear winner for budget-conscious users — starting at $0/mo compared to $5/mo for Taiga. That $5/mo difference adds up quickly for growing teams.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Feature-wise, PostHog offers broader built-in capabilities (7 features vs 6), while Taiga takes a more focused approach — which can mean a simpler, faster onboarding experience.
Both tools are a solid fit for startups — in those cases, the decision often comes down to workflow style and how your team prefers to organize work.
Bottom line: PostHog has a slight overall edge — but if fully open-source and self-hostable matters most to you, Taiga may still be the right call.
