The short version

  • Only PostHog 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; PostHog the free tier covers 1M events, 5K web session recordings and 2.5K mobile recordings per month before usage-based billing starts

Where each one falls short

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

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
  • Dedicated plans span $50 to $17,495 per month depending on throughput tier, per cloudamqp.com, so production-grade throughput above 500 msg/s requires the paid dedicated tiers rather than the shared plan

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
