PostHog vs. Roadway: When to Use Each
While PostHog is great for product analytics, Roadway is a purpose-built tool designed to help growth marketers discover what works, cut what doesn’t, and drive more return on digital marketing spend.

When should I use PostHog? And when should I use Roadway?
Your engineers and PMs live in PostHog to debug funnels and refine user flows, but growth teams still need to know which campaigns—and budgets—turn visitors into paying customers. When those answers live in CSV exports, ad dashboards, or hand-rolled SQL, momentum slows and spend gets misallocated. Roadway plugs that gap by layering AI-driven attribution and automated workflow syncs on top of the warehouse you already trust.
PostHog shines at product telemetry: it captures in-app events, funnels, session replays, and feature-flag data that help engineers and PMs ship better experiences. What it doesn’t tackle is end-to-end marketing attribution. Campaign data lives outside PostHog, and tying spend to revenue usually means exporting CSVs or hand-rolling SQL in your warehouse.
Roadway bridges that gap by querying Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift directly, capturing every channel- and campaign-level touchpoint, applying AI-powered attribution, and piping those insights back to Salesforce, HubSpot, and ad platforms—so growth teams know exactly which efforts convert prospects into revenue, not just sign-ups.
Add Roadway to your PostHog stack when…
You’re steering without a revenue dashboard
PostHog ends at product events, giving no visibility into what happens between the first ad click and closed-won deals. Roadway tracks each touch across channels and links it to booked revenue, so you can double-down on campaigns, creatives, and cohorts that truly scale pipeline.
Your attribution workflow is a patchwork of exports
Copy-pasting PostHog data into spreadsheets or BI eats analyst hours and breaks with every schema tweak. Roadway calculates attribution right inside Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift—no CSV juggling, no brittle joins.
Growth spikes happen and no one knows who to thank
PostHog flags usage jumps, but it’s silent on which campaign, offer, or audience lit the fuse. Roadway’s AI surfaces the specific levers behind each revenue swing and pushes those insights directly into Salesforce, HubSpot, and ad platforms for rapid follow-up.
