|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is published; the page offers a price request. With nothing to compare, it sits in the middle. | AA site with 10,000 visitors a month fits inside the free 1M events, so the figure is $0, with unlimited seats and 10,000 replays. Past that, Growth is $100 a month for 1.5M events billed yearly ($140 monthly), and $840 at 10M. |
| Free plan and trial | DA free trial is offered, but its length and card terms aren't stated on the pages we read, so we can't count it as a card-free trial. | BFree forever with no card: 1M events, 10,000 replays, 1,000 experiment users and 10 feature flags, with unlimited seats. The caps: 5 saved reports per seat, and cohorts you can build but not save. |

AI summaries and an MCP server take questions in plain words. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only. The listing names no integrations. | BWeb only, no desktop or phone app, so it stops at B. It pulls data from BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift and Postgres, and works with Segment, mParticle, Braze, Iterable and Google Ads. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
