The short version

  • Only Baremetrics has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Glassbox the plans page names three tiers, Production Operation, Marketing and Business, and Product, and states cost is determined by package, data retention and session volume, all gated behind contact sales; Baremetrics priced on the revenue it measures, so the bill rises with your ARR rather than with usage: $75 a month up to $360K ARR, $255 to $3.6M and $1,152 above that
  • They diverge on capability: Glassbox covers Session Replay, Baremetrics covers Revenue Metrics.
