PostHog Mobile App with No Subscription

PocketHog costs $4.99. Once. That's it.

No monthly subscription, no annual plan, no "Pro" tier that locks the good features behind a paywall. You buy it, you own it, every feature works.

Why One-Time Pricing

PocketHog connects directly to PostHog's API using your Personal API key. Your data goes from PostHog's servers to your phone — PocketHog doesn't run a backend, doesn't proxy your requests, doesn't store your data on any intermediary server.

No backend means no ongoing server costs. And no ongoing costs means no reason to charge you every month.

Compare this to apps that charge monthly subscriptions for what amounts to an API wrapper. If the app is just reading from an API you already pay for, why should there be a recurring fee?

What $4.99 Gets You

Everything. There's no tier system. Every PocketHog user gets:

  • Home screen widgets — small and medium sizes showing live visitor counts, conversion metrics, and sparkline trends
  • Multi-project monitoring — all your PostHog projects in a single scrollable feed
  • Conversion tracking — pick any PostHog event as a secondary metric per project
  • Sparkline trend charts — see how metrics are moving at a glance
  • Period-over-period deltas — weekly and monthly comparisons
  • Chart annotations — deployment markers overlaid on trends
  • PostHog Max AI deep links — jump to AI analysis from any metric
  • Project reordering and custom names — organize your dashboard your way
  • US Cloud, EU Cloud, and self-hosted support
  • Test account filtering
  • All future updates — included, forever

The Subscription Fatigue Problem

Developer tools love subscriptions. It's understandable — recurring revenue is predictable. But from the buyer's side, it's death by a thousand cuts. You're already paying for PostHog (or using the free tier). You're paying for your Apple Developer account. You're paying for hosting, domains, maybe a CI service.

Adding another $5–10/month for a mobile dashboard app? That's the kind of thing you sign up for, use for two weeks, forget to cancel, and find on your credit card statement six months later.

PocketHog avoids this entirely. One purchase, done. Use it every day or once a month — it costs the same.

No Feature Gates

Some apps offer a free tier with limited functionality and then charge for "Pro" or "Premium" features. This creates a frustrating experience: you start using the app, get invested, then hit a wall when you try to use the feature you actually need.

PocketHog has no free tier and no Pro tier. There's one version. It does everything. $4.99 one-time purchase on the App Store.

Who This Is For

PocketHog is built for indie developers, solo founders, and small teams who:

  • Want a quick pulse check on their PostHog metrics without opening a laptop
  • Manage multiple PostHog projects and want to see all of them in one place
  • Prefer home screen widgets over opening yet another app
  • Are tired of subscription pricing for simple utility apps
