In their own words
Helion
Helion is an open-source product and web analytics platform for tracking user behavior, events, funnels, retention, and web traffic. It combines event tracking and user profiles with funnels, cohorts, retention analysis, real-time dashboards, session replay, A/B testing, and revenue tracking. Its MCP server lets Claude, Cursor, and other compatible AI clients query analytics data. Helion stores events in ClickHouse for analytics queries, and can send event-triggered notifications to Slack, Discord, or a custom webhook with JavaScript payload transforms. Tracking is cookieless by default and does not require third-party tracking cookies. Session replay is opt-in, off by default, and has 30-day retention. SDKs include JavaScript, React, Next.js, Astro, and Python. Helion can be self-hosted with Docker Compose on a VPS, Kubernetes cluster, or cloud provider; the self-hosted software is licensed under AGPL-3.0. The self-hosted plan costs nothing for unlimited events and all features. Helion Cloud costs $90 a month for 1M events and all features. It lists web, mobile, desktop, API, and self-hosted platforms.
