Pros and cons
PostHog
Pros
- Every product has a free monthly allowance and public per-unit prices
- Anonymous events are cheap: $152.90/month at 5M events
- Billing limits per product prevent surprise bills
- Managed migration from Amplitude, and historic imports are free
Cons
- Identified events cost far more than anonymous ones (about $560/month at 5M if all identified)
- SAML SSO needs the Scale package at $750/month
- Self-hosting is unsupported and limited to free-plan features
- Many separate meters make forecasting harder
- Interface assumes some comfort with SQL and engineering concepts
Pendo
Pros
- In-app guides on every plan, including Free
- Retroactive analytics from install day
- MAU-based pricing is predictable when event volume is high
- Surveys, replay and roadmaps in the same tool on higher plans
Cons
- No published prices for any paid plan
- Free is capped at 500 MAU, Pendo-branded, and new users are steered to the Novus beta
- Session replay is not on Base
- No feature flags or experiments listed
- Less depth than Amplitude for event-level behavioral analysis

Amplitude alternatives
Switch to Mixpanel if you want the closest replacement with public prices and SSO on a self-serve plan. Choose PostHog if engineers want analytics, replay, flags and experiments in one tool. Stay on Amplitude Plus if price is your only concern: at 5M events it is cheaper than most alternatives.
