OpenPanel
What ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini & Grok actually say · August 2026
The verdict
OpenPanel appears in 1 AI-ranked category — best position #3 for open-source product analytics for self-hosting.
Best self-hosting balance: full AGPL product, straightforward Docker deployment, ClickHouse scale, funnels, retention, profiles, revenue, dashboards, A/B testing, and broad web, mobile, and server SDKs without artificial self-hosted feature limits
Grok Clean Mixpanel-style product analytics (funnels, retention, cohorts, user profiles, events) plus web metrics in a single lightweight Docker Compose deploy; AGPL, cookieless by default, self-hosted features identical to cloud, low ops overhead for teams that want ownership without PostHog complexity
Where OpenPanel falls short, per the models
- GPT Smaller and less battle-tested ecosystem than the leaders; not the safest choice for very large or highly regulated enterprises needing mature support
- Grok Newer project with smaller community and ecosystem than PostHog; lacks built-in feature flags/experiments
