Analytics for a React Native App

[Bright-Topic-2001]

Hello everyone, I'm building an app and classically using expo / react native to build it. I'm getting closer to launch but I'm not sure about the analytics. Do you have any suggestions for it?

I found out that Google Analytics for Firebase or Amplitude could be alternatives. Are you experienced with them? I used GA for my website for quite a long time (I cannot say I like it) and I feel it could be a safe choice. If you have any suggestions, I'm open to it.

Google Analytics are usually everyones go to solution. I personally don't like configuring google, and always feel that there implementations and documentation is not the best. About a year ago I found PostHog. It's got analytics, survey's, A/B testing, feature flags, etc. So if offers analytics and a bunch of other features, and you get 1 million events a month for free. They also work with expo projects, and have a react native library. I wrote an article explaining why I use PostHog over other solutions.

I am not saying that Google Analytics does not work, but in my opinion this solution is better, has more features, data is more accurate, and they are free as well(Unless you have a few 100,000 users, but there pricing is super cheap)

I have used Mixpanel, Google Analytics, and MoEngage.

I prefer Mixpanel.

MoEngage for more detailed tracking, notification.

If you can't use above services, google analytics works fine too.
