| Pricing | $39 per user/month billed annually ($49 monthly) — Essential, 1 online store or marketplace · free tier: None. 14-day full-feature free trial, no credit card required, running in 'Safe Mode' where channels connect but messages are not stored or sent until you disable it. | $0 — pay-as-you-go keeps the same free allowances then meters overage from $0.0000500/event (1–2M events) · free tier: $0 forever, no credit card: 1M analytics events, 5,000 session recordings, 1M feature-flag requests, 1,500 survey responses, 100K error-tracking exceptions and 10GB logs per month; unlimited team members, 1 project, 1-year data retention, community support only |
| Pricing model | Per-agent subscription (annual or monthly) plus usage-based AI outcome charges and paid add-ons | Usage-based, metered per product (no traditional tiers) |
| Best for | Multichannel sellers of roughly 3–15 agents whose volume genuinely lands on Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Mirakl or TikTok Shop alongside a Shopify or Magento store, where the alternative is buying connectors on top of a generalist helpdesk — and who want unlimited tickets so the December bill matches the July bill. | Engineering-led seed-stage SaaS startups under 1M events per month that want analytics, session replay, feature flags and experiments from one vendor at $0, and have at least one developer comfortable installing an SDK and configuring a reverse proxy. |
| Avoid if | You are DTC-only on a single Shopify store (you pay for marketplace breadth you will not use, and reviewers call the per-seat price steep at that size), you need a usable API, webhooks or BI extracts without an Enterprise contract, you require self-service billing control given the no-refund terms and post-cancellation charging complaints on Trustpilot, or you need a fixed monthly number before the unpriced add-ons are quoted. | Avoid PostHog if the daily users of the tool are non-technical founders, PMs or marketers — the learning-curve and confusing-UI themes account for hundreds of negative G2 reviews — or if you need guaranteed responsive support early, SSO and audit logs on a startup budget, or more than one project without paying. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
