A side-by-side editorial comparison of AgencyAnalytics and PostHog — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
AgencyAI got skills three weeks ago; everything since has been making them routine.
The cadence is weekly and heavily weighted toward AgencyAI. Skills landed in early August as named, runnable agency tasks; scheduling followed, so those tasks now run on their own. Around the assistant, the reporting surface keeps widening: advanced filtering on custom metrics and KPIs, client tags, a report shares view, and a MailerLite data source that brings email campaign metrics alongside every other channel.
PostHog is filling in Logs and the mobile SDKs while quietly growing a support product.
PostHog ships weekly, and this week's batch is spread across four teams rather than concentrated in one product. Logs gets attribute filtering and a React Native capture path; the iOS SDK gains rage-click detection and a session-replay duration floor; Conversations picks up GitHub issues as an inbound support channel. Individually these are small, and the weekly digest bundles them into a single roundup entry.

Around the assistant, the reporting surface keeps widening: advanced filtering on custom metrics and KPIs, client tags, a report shares view, and a MailerLite data source that brings email campaign metrics alongside every other channel.
The assistant is being moved from something an operator invokes to something that runs on a schedule against connected client data, which changes it from a feature into part of the reporting pipeline. The integration work continues at its usual pace and serves the same end — the more channels are connected, the more a scheduled skill has to reason over. Filtering and tagging are the plumbing that lets those tasks be scoped to the right accounts.
Expect scheduled skills to gain delivery — results pushed into reports or sent to clients — rather than staying inside the assistant panel.

Individually these are small, and the weekly digest bundles them into a single roundup entry.
Two build-outs are running in parallel. The observability side — Logs plus the mobile SDKs — is being brought up to parity with what PostHog already offers on web, which is what makes the platform credible for mobile teams rather than web analytics with an SDK attached. The Conversations work is the more interesting thread: adding support channels moves PostHog past measuring users toward handling them, and it is being built out in the same incremental weekly rhythm as everything else.
Expect Logs and the mobile SDKs to keep receiving parity features on the weekly cadence, and expect Conversations to add further inbound channels beyond GitHub issues. The entries do not show whether Conversations is being positioned as a standalone product or a feature of the existing suite.
