The short version

  • Only PostHog has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: PostHog the free tier covers 1M events, 5K web session recordings and 2.5K mobile recordings per month before usage-based billing starts; Site24x7 website and infrastructure monitoring are sold as separate plan tracks; the entry Web Uptime plan ($9/month annual) covers only 25 websites and does not include server monitoring, which requires a separate Lite infrastructure plan

Where each one falls short

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

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

Site24x7

  • Website and infrastructure monitoring are sold as separate plan tracks; the entry Web Uptime plan ($9/month annual) covers only 25 websites and does not include server monitoring, which requires a separate Lite infrastructure plan
  • Entry infrastructure Lite plan covers only 2 servers and 25 child resources before requiring an upgrade to Professional
  • The discounted monthly-equivalent prices shown (e.g. $9/month for Web Uptime) require annual prepayment; standard monthly billing is priced higher (e.g. $10/month)
  • Enterprise tier pricing starts at $625/month and Enterprise Plus Web at $899/month, both paid annually
