Where each one falls short

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

Crazy Egg

  • The Starter plan at $29 a month covers 5,000 pageviews and 50 snapshots, which a modest site exhausts quickly
  • All plans are billed annually rather than monthly
  • There is no free tier, only a trial
  • Reaching 500,000 pageviews means the Pro plan at $249 a month

Yellowfin

  • The pricing page publishes no rate, no minimum and no per-user price; every model ends in a Get Pricing form
  • One of the three embedded models is a revenue share, so Yellowfin takes a cut of the revenue your analytics module earns
  • Another model prices by server core, so scaling deployment hardware raises the licence cost independently of users
  • Getting a quote requires submitting a form with a marketing consent checkbox and a user-count band rather than seeing a rate card
