The short version

  • Only PostHog has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: MoEngage no dollar figures are published for any tier across its three products (Inform, the core cross-channel platform, and Personalize); every plan routes to a Let's Talk or Request Demo sales conversation; PostHog the free tier covers 1M events, 5K web session recordings and 2.5K mobile recordings per month before usage-based billing starts

Where each one falls short

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

MoEngage

  • No dollar figures are published for any tier across its three products (Inform, the core cross-channel platform, and Personalize); every plan routes to a Let's Talk or Request Demo sales conversation
  • The core platform is split into Growth and Enterprise tiers with no stated feature boundary or price difference visible without contacting sales

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
