How it works
- Which is cheapest for a side project?
- Scenario A (800K events, 3K replays, 40K errors): PostHog $0 and Mixpanel Free $0 (no error tracking). Sentry Team = $26 base + 2,950 replays × $0.00375 = $37.06.
- What does Scenario B show?
- 5M events, 20K replays, 250K errors: PostHog $152.90 + $67.50 + $55.50 = $275.90; Mixpanel Growth $438/mo yearly ($613 monthly); Sentry Team PAYG $148.95. A Mixpanel + Sentry stack = $586.95 vs PostHog $275.90.
- What about Scenario C at scale?
- 20M events, 100K replays, 1M errors: PostHog $1,093.65 (errors + replays only $450.25); Sentry $582.44; Mixpanel 20M events $1,635 yearly / $2,289 monthly — replays above 20K need an unpublished add-on (n/a).
