PostHog vs Whatagraph
Side-by-side trajectory, velocity, and editorial themes.
PostHog is wiring itself into the MCP ecosystem while shoring up mobile-SDK feature parity.
PostHog continues its weekly grind, but the May releases cluster around two themes: an MCP toolchain (alerts to Slack and webhooks, SDK Doctor, mode selection via header) and LLM analytics BYOK providers (Together AI, Azure OpenAI). At the same time the mobile teams are filling in iOS and Android session-replay controls, rage-click detection, and survey delays that previously only the web SDK had.
The shape of PostHog's surface keeps widening rather than deepening: more LLM-vendor coverage in the analytics product, more MCP-tooling so AI agents can read and act on PostHog data, more parity across SDKs. Less obvious is which surface becomes the headliner; right now Conversations, Logs, Experiments, and Client Libraries are all shipping into a single weekly digest with comparable weight.
Expect MCP integration to keep expanding from peripheral utilities into the core insights and alerting paths, with PostHog positioning itself as the analytics endpoint AI agents read from when reasoning about product usage. Mobile SDK parity work should compress in the next month or two as the gap with the web SDK closes.
Whatagraph adds Data Storage and a Snowflake source — agency reports stop waiting on live API calls.
Whatagraph is moving from 'report builder over live API connections' to 'managed data layer plus report builder.' Two recent releases anchor the shift: Data Storage lets Whatagraph store customer data on its own infrastructure with a 24-month default backfill, and Snowflake has been added as a first-party data source so warehouse tables can sit alongside paid media and web analytics in the same report. Around that, the company is filling in standard reporting depth — GeoMap widget, conditional formatting, Gauge and Heatmap widget types — plus broader integration coverage like bol. Retailer and Advertising for Benelux retail media and a rebuilt event-level CallTrackingMetrics.
The product is pushing toward becoming an agency-grade marketing reporting platform that also owns the data plumbing. Historically agencies had to choose between Whatagraph-style report builders (fast but live-API constrained) and BigQuery-based stacks (flexible but heavyweight). Whatagraph's managed Storage destination collapses that choice, and the Snowflake source pulls customer-warehouse data directly into the reporting surface — both moves widen the addressable customer set into mid-market and larger agencies.
Expect the next quarter to deepen the data layer: a SQL-style transformation interface on stored data, more warehouse sources (likely Databricks or Redshift), and a billing change that splits the storage layer from the report-builder seat licenses. The GeoMap widget will exit beta with continent-grouped drill-downs.
