I’m Kayla, and I’ve used both PostHog and Google Analytics for real work. Not once. Many times. Across apps, shops, and little side projects I built after dinner with cold coffee. Different needs. Different wins. Let me explain. What I used them for Google Analytics (GA4): I used it to track traffic, channels, and ad …

I’ve used both. A lot. Mixpanel for answers. Segment for pipes. Different tools, different jobs. But they do play nice together. Here’s how it went for me, with real stories and a few bumps. First, what’s what? Mixpanel: product analytics. You track events like “Sign Up” or “Add to Cart.” Then you see funnels, paths, …
I run two Shopify stores: a small skincare line and a dog chew brand. We spend around $60k a month on ads across Meta, TikTok, and Google. So tracking is not “nice to have.” It’s food and rent. I used Triple Whale. It’s solid. But the bill stung, and the model felt like a black …

Hi, I’m Kayla. I’ve shipped two web apps in the last year—a small fitness app for moms, and a B2B dashboard for a freight team. I ran PostHog and Sentry side by side. I still do. Short version? Sentry tells me when my code breaks and why. PostHog shows me what users do and what …

I’ve run both tools on real sites with real money on the line. Fashion, news, and a big DTC shop that sold coffee gear. I’ve set tags, built funnels, yelled at dashboards, and yeah—fixed a few 2 a.m. tracking fires. Here’s what actually happened. The quick take Adobe Analytics gave me deep, custom tracking and …

Note: This is a fictional first-person story, written to feel real. It uses true product details and concrete examples. Why I even cared I needed clean product data. Fast. My team asked, “What makes users stick?” I said, “Give me two weeks.” So I tried Heap and Mixpanel side by side. Different vibes. Both smart. …

I’m Kayla, and I use both Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics every week. Sometimes every day. I run small campaigns, shop sites, and even a few newsletters. I’ve broken stuff. I’ve fixed things. I’ve cried once, too, when a big sale day went sideways. So, here’s my plain, hands-on take. If you’d like the …

I run a small tea shop online. I use Google Analytics every day. GA4, not the old one. And you know what? “Users” and “Sessions” still trip people up. They did for me too. Here’s the thing. Users are people. Sessions are visits. Simple idea. Messy in real life — and if you want a …
