The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 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; Wufoo free plan caps at 5 forms and 100 entries

Where each one falls short

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

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
  • The free plan allows 250,000 events a month
  • Growth starts at $265 a month for 1 million events, with volume sold in tiers up to 25 million
  • Overage is charged as the gap to the next tier's price rather than per event, so a small excess costs a full tier step

Wufoo

  • Free plan caps at 5 forms and 100 entries
  • Starter plan ($16.25/mo) still limits to 10 forms and 1,000 entries per month
  • Accepting payments requires the Professional tier ($33.25/mo) or higher; Free and Starter tiers cannot take payments at all
