| Pricing | $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 | $19/agent/month billed annually (Support Team — does not include the knowledge base) · free tier: No free plan; 14-day free trial on Suite Team |
| Pricing model | Usage-based, metered per product (no traditional tiers) | Subscription (per-agent) with usage-based AI billing |
| Best for | 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. | Organisations already on or migrating to Zendesk Suite for ticketing that want multilingual self-service and AI deflection tightly coupled to the ticket queue. |
| Avoid if | 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. | You need a standalone knowledge base, public docs site or internal wiki without a helpdesk, or you have a tight, predictable budget that cannot absorb unpublished AI usage rates and $55+/agent/month. |

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.
