Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Checkout.com

  • checkout.com/pricing publishes no per-transaction percentage or fixed fee; pricing is set per business profile and risk category through direct sales contact, per the vendor's own pricing page (Aug 2026)
  • Choosing between the flat-rate and Interchange++ pricing models requires contacting the sales team, since neither model's rate is quoted publicly on the page

PostHog

  • The free tier covers 1M events, 5K web session recordings and 2.5K mobile recordings per month before usage-based billing starts
  • Accounts without a card on file are limited to 1 project; adding one raises it to 6
  • Data retention is 1 year until a card is added, which extends it to 7 years
  • Support is community-only until the account is on a paid plan
  • Error tracking is capped at 100K exceptions and surveys at 1500 responses per month on the free tier
