Frequently Asked Questions
01 How much does PostHog actually cost?
Over 90% of companies use PostHog completely free. Paid usage typically ranges from $100-$5,000+/month depending on volume. Product analytics costs ~$0.00005 per event (about $50 per million events after the 1M free tier), with steep volume discounts at higher usage.
02 What is included in PostHog's free tier?
The free tier includes 1 million product analytics events, 5,000 session replays, 1 million feature flag requests, 100,000 error logs, and 1,500 survey responses per month. It also includes unlimited team members, 1 year data retention, and no credit card required.
03 How does PostHog's usage-based pricing work?
PostHog charges per event/action with tiered step-down pricing - the more you use, the lower the per-unit cost. Each product (analytics, session replay, feature flags, etc.) is metered independently, so you only pay for what you use. You can set billing caps to prevent unexpected costs.
04 Can I use PostHog without paying anything?
Yes, PostHog's free tier is generous and resets monthly. You get 1M events, 5K session recordings, 1M feature flag requests, and more every month free forever with unlimited team members. No credit card required to start.
05 What happens if I exceed my free tier limits?
Once you exceed free tier limits, you'll be charged based on usage at tiered rates. For example, events 1M-2M cost $0.00005 each (~$50 for the extra million). You can set hard billing caps to stop processing once you hit a limit.
06 Does PostHog charge per seat or per user?
No, PostHog includes unlimited team seats and unlimited tracked users on all plans. You only pay based on usage (events, recordings, etc.), not per team member or end user, making it ideal for growing teams.
07 What are PostHog's hidden costs?
Main hidden costs include: unexpected usage spikes increasing bills, self-hosting infrastructure costs, custom user properties potentially costing extra, engineering time for advanced integrations, and costs from using multiple products simultaneously (each charges independently).
