Where each one falls short

Coralogix

  • No self-hosted option; cloud-only SaaS requiring use of customer's AWS, Azure, or GCP infrastructure
  • Pricing is purely usage-based per GB with no flat-rate subscription option; suitable for unpredictable workloads but no cost ceiling

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
