The short version
- Only Amplitude has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: CloudAMQP free shared RabbitMQ plan caps at 1 million messages per month and 20 connections, per cloudamqp.com/plans.html (Aug 2026); the next tier at $19/month raises the cap to only 10 million messages; Amplitude metered on event volume, so instrumenting more of a product raises the bill even if the audience does not grow

CloudAMQP

- The free plan covers 2M events a month
- The Plus plan scales to 70M events, above which pricing is custom
