Where each one falls short

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

RAD Studio

  • Professional edition costs $2,000 for the perpetual license plus $599 for year one maintenance, totaling $2,599 before tax
  • Enterprise edition steps up to $3,400 license plus $1,199 maintenance, and Architect edition to $4,416 license plus $2,183 maintenance
  • The perpetual license only entitles the buyer to updates for one year; continued access to new updates and upgrades requires an annually renewable Update Subscription

Statsig

  • Pro plan is limited to a single project, requiring Enterprise for multi-project support
  • Overage pricing on the Pro plan can become costly for high-event-volume products
  • Warehouse-native deployment and advanced access controls are gated behind custom Enterprise contracts
  • Free tier session replay and analytics retention are capped, pushing active teams toward paid tiers quickly
