The short version
- Each has a real cost: LastPass free plan limited to 1 device type only; RudderStack on the free plan data processing stops after a second consecutive overage rather than being billed, so exceeding 250,000 events twice breaks the pipeline
- They diverge on capability: LastPass covers Password vault, RudderStack covers Data collection.
