PostHog pay-as-you-go = $0 base, 6 projects. Monthly free tier (resets, no rollover, organization-wide): 1M events, 5K recordings, 100K exceptions. Graduated bands (each band's units at that band's rate; “prices decrease with volume”). Events: 1M–2M $0.00005; 2M–15M $0.0000343; 15M–50M $0.0000295; 50M–100M $0.0000218; 100M–250M $0.000015; >250M $0.000009. Recordings: 5K–15K $0.005; 15K–50K $0.0035; 50K–150K $0.002; 150K–500K $0.0017; >500K $0.0015. Exceptions: 100K–325K $0.00037; 325K–10M $0.00014; >10M $0.000115. Traps: events = any data point (autocapture, pageviews, API); a billing limit drops extra events permanently; mobile recordings billed separately ($0.01 after 2.5K free); Identified-events add-on optional, not included. Smoke: 3M events $84.30; 5M $152.90; 10M $324.40; 20M $643.40; 10K recordings $25.00, 20K $67.50; 250K exceptions $55.50, 1M $177.75. Out of MVP: feature flags, surveys, logs, data pipelines (sources/destinations), LLM analytics, add-ons, Boost/Scale/Enterprise packages.

How it works

How much does PostHog cost per event?
After 1M free events/month: $0.00005 per event for 1M–2M, $0.0000343 for 2M–15M, $0.0000295 for 15M–50M, $0.0000218 for 50M–100M, $0.000015 for 100M–250M and $0.000009 above 250M (as of 2026-11-03).
Are the bands graduated?
Yes — this calculator charges each band's units at that band's rate. 3M events = 1M × $0.00005 + 1M × $0.0000343 = $84.30; 10M = $324.40; 20M = $643.40.
How much do session recordings and exceptions cost?
Recordings: first 5K free, then $0.005 → $0.0015 by band (10K → $25.00, 20K → $67.50). Exceptions: first 100K free, then $0.00037, $0.00014, $0.000115 (250K → $55.50, 1M → $177.75).
What is not included?
Mobile recordings (billed separately, $0.01 after 2.5K free), the Identified-events add-on, feature flags, surveys, logs, data pipelines, LLM analytics and Boost/Scale/Enterprise packages.
What metering traps should I watch?
The free tier is organization-wide across all projects; autocapture and pageviews count as events; with a billing limit, extra events are dropped permanently.
