Where each one falls short

Kissmetrics
- Overages are added automatically to the next invoice rather than blocked, so exceeding an event allowance bills without a decision point
- The free plan allows 100,000 events a month
- Per event rates fall with volume, from $0.20 per 1,000 events on Growth to $0.10 on Gold, so smaller customers pay double per event
- The vendor states Growth, Silver and Gold are the identical product, so the paid tiers differ only in unit price and volume
- Anything above 5 million events is custom priced
Whatagraph
- The entry Max plan starts at 699 EUR per month and is billed annually, with no monthly billing option shown
- Only two plans exist and the Prime plan is custom priced with no published rate
- Public API access, transfer to BigQuery and Looker, a custom report domain and premium integrations all require the Prime plan
- Data sources are metered as credits at 1 credit per connected data account, so each additional ad account consumes quota
- Extra credits can be bought only up to the next plan threshold, after which an upgrade is required
- Moving to either the Max or Prime plan requires booking a call with sales rather than self-serve upgrade
- The free trial is 14 days
