| Pricing | Not published · free tier: A "Start for free" entry point exists on the Contentsquare Heap page, but its limits are unverified | $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 | Custom | Usage-based, metered per product (no traditional tiers) |
| Best for | Product or growth teams that want quantitative analytics plus qualitative session replay, heatmaps and surveys from one vendor, prefer autocapture over rigorous event schemas, and are comfortable buying into Contentsquare's wider experience-intelligence suite. | 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 specifically wanted independent, engineering-first Heap, or you need published self-serve pricing you can budget against without talking to sales. | 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.
