Prices from vendor pricing pages, October 2026. "Fits" compares your MAUs with the user limit stated for the entry plan; where no limit is published we show "Check vendor". Always confirm with the vendor.
How to use this estimate
- Forecast ahead: enter the MAUs you expect in 12 months, not today. Most tools price on MAUs and tier jumps are common.
- Entry plans are a floor: features like session replay, A/B testing or advanced analytics may need a higher tier.
- Count your time: setup, content and analysis time is a real cost too.
