UserVane vs PostHog surveys

PostHog surveys sit inside a broader product analytics platform with a generous free usage shape for teams already on PostHog. UserVane is a polished standalone survey product with no obligation to run your analytics on us.

How the approaches differ

PostHog surveys

Surveys as a feature of a product analytics suite. Strong when you already instrument PostHog and want feedback next to product analytics.

Suits: Teams committed to PostHog as their analytics home.
UserVane

Standalone in-product and link surveys focused on NPS/CSAT/CES/PMF quality, honest scoring, React embed, import, and response metering.

Suits: Teams that want surveys without adopting an analytics platform, or who want a dedicated microsurvey UX.

Stable differences

	PostHog surveys (approach)	UserVane
Product center of gravity	Analytics platform with surveys	Microsurvey product
Adoption cost	Best if you already run PostHog	Drop-in for any stack
Honest thin-sample handling	Platform-dependent	Core product: suppress + margin
Delighted full-fidelity import	Not the core wedge	First-class importer
MCP for survey results	Partial / platform tooling	Org-scoped MCP after OAuth

How to choose

Choose PostHog surveys when PostHog is already your analytics system of record and in-platform surveys are good enough.
Choose UserVane when you want a standalone, native-feeling microsurvey, honest score discipline, and import without platform lock-in.

Where UserVane fits

UserVane is the honest in-product NPS/CSAT/CES/PMF tool for product teams: suppress thin samples and show the plus/minus margin (never a vanity number), a native widget, hosted link surveys, bring-your-own email, React components, self-serve full-fidelity import, event and trait targeting on the entry paid tier, webhooks, verbatim tagging, WorkOS team invites and roles, MCP access after OAuth, and response metering with unlimited surveys.

A standalone microsurvey product with a real free tier, not a research platform and not an analytics suite you have to adopt first. Pro for volume and channels; Scale for team access and advanced analytics (segmentation, trends, cross-survey, honest per-segment scoring).
