Where each one falls short

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

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.

Sublime Text

  • A personal licence is $99 as a one off purchase but includes only 3 years of updates, after which a paid upgrade is required to keep receiving them
  • Business use is a separate annual subscription rather than a perpetual licence, starting at $65 per seat per year
  • The distinction means the same editor is perpetual for an individual and subscription for a company
