Where it wins
- Combines funnels, cohorts, profiles, replay, revenue, and real-time dashboards.
- Supports web, iOS, Android, APIs, and self-hosted deployment.
- Offers SDK coverage across JavaScript, mobile, frontend, and backend stacks.
Where it doesn't
- Event-based pricing requires planning around tracked event volume.
- Business-system integrations are not the focus; coverage centers on SDKs and languages.
- Self-hosting runs on a team's infrastructure through Docker Compose.

Our verdict on Helion

Helion is an open-source product and web analytics platform for developers and product teams that need event tracking across web and mobile products. Its feature set covers custom events with arbitrary properties, user profiles, funnels, retention and cohort analysis, real-time dashboards, session tracking, session replay, revenue tracking, and web traffic. Teams can deploy it on their own infrastructure under the AGPL-3.0 license or use the hosted cloud option. Web, iOS, Android, API, and self-hosted platforms are supported, with a 30-day free trial and a free plan.

Pricing is organized around event volume rather than separate feature packages. The published plans are 5,000 events, 10,000 events, 100,000 events, 500,000 events, and 1,000,000 events. Each plan lists all features included and event-based pricing, so paid tiers add capacity rather than feature gates. This structure suits teams that want replay, funnels, retention, profiles, revenue tracking, and APIs available across their selected volume tier. Teams comparing tools by seats or feature bundles will need to evaluate the event metric carefully.

Helion's ecosystem is strongest for engineering-led implementations. Integrations span JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Next.js, Vue, Astro, Remix, React Native, Flutter, iOS Swift, Android Kotlin, Node.js, Python, Ruby, and Rust. The Export API, Insights API, and optional MCP server extend access to analytics data and queries, while Docker Compose supports self-hosting. Choose Helion if infrastructure control, open-source deployment, replay, and broad SDK coverage matter. Consider another product if your priority is a wide set of business-system integrations rather than developer and language support.
