Test changes with statistical significance
A/B tests, multivariate tests, and robust targeting & exclusion rules. Analyze usage with product analytics and session replay.
boosted engagement by 40%
"Y Combinator uses PostHog's experimentation suite to try new ideas, some of which have led to significant improvements."
increased registrations by 30%
"This experiment cuts that in half to a 30% drop-off – a 50% improvement without a single user complaining!"
unthrottled event ingestion from a previous analytics provider, leading to better insights
"PostHog, which can do both experiments and analytics in one, was clearly the winner."

FAQs
PostHog vs...
So, what's best for you?
Reasons a competitor might be better for you (for now...)
- No-code experiments or CMS capabilities
- You'll still need a designer/engineer to create experiments
- No integration with Google Ads
- PostHog can't run ad experiments, or target users into an experiment based on an ad variant engagement.
Reasons to choose
- Integration with other PostHog products
- Attach surveys to experiments or view replays for a test group. Analyze results beyond your initial hypothesis or goal metric.
- Automated recommendations for sample sizes and runtime
- Automatic significance calculator – to help you figure out the winning variant as quickly as possible
- Robust targeting and exclusion options, including cohorts and location
- Anything you monitor in analytics, you can target in an experiment

Running experiments on new users
Optimizing the initial experience of new users is critical for turning them into existing users. Products have a limited amount of time and attention from new users before they leave and churn.
How to set up A/B/n testing
A/B/n testing is like an A/B test where you compare multiple (n) variants instead of just two. It can be especially useful for small but impactful changes where many options are available like copy, styles, or pages.
How to run holdout testing
Holdout testing is a type of A/B testing that measures the long term effects of product changes. In holdout testing, a small group of users is not shown your changes for a long period of time, typically weeks or months after your experiment ends.
How to do A/A testing
An A/A test is the same as an A/B test except both groups receive the same code or components. Teams run A/A tests to ensure their A/B test service, functionality, and implementation work as expected and provides accurate results.
Install & customize
Here are some ways you can fine tune how you implement A/B testing.

PostHog works in small teams. The Feature Success team is responsible for building A/B testing.
(Shockingly, this team prefers their pizza without pineapple.)
Roadmap & changelog
Here’s what the team is up to.
Latest update
Feb 2024
Graphs and significance calculation added for secondary metrics
You've been able to add secondary metrics to A/B experiments in PostHog for a while, but we've now added much better reporting around them.
The new graphs and significance calculations will help you determine if there are knock-on effects to your experiments away from the primary metric.
For example, you may test a change to your sign-up flow to improve conversion as a primary metric, but you may also need to know about impact to activation as a secondary metric. Now you can understand both easily!

Feature Success Analysis
Bringing together different parts of PostHog (flags, replay, surveys) to allow users to better analyse the success of a new feature.
Progress
Users & recordings linked to feature flags
We want to make it easier for those who use feature flags to get information on users attached to a particular feature flag, and gather more information on those users' experience through session recordings.

Pairs with...
PostHog products are natively designed to be interoperable using Product OS.
Product analytics
Run analysis based on the value of a test, or build a cohort of users from a test variant
Session replay
Watch recordings of users in a variant to discover nuances in why they did or didn’t complete the goal
Feature flags
Make changes to the feature flag the experiment uses - including JSON payload for each variant
This is the call to action.
If nothing else has sold you on PostHog, hopefully these classic marketing tactics will.
