How we grade them
| 3.2GPAPostHogVery good | 2.4GPAWingifyFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | AA site with 10,000 visitors a month fits in the free 1M events and 5,000 recordings, so the figure is $0. There's no base fee after that, just usage from $0.00005 an event. Boost, at $250 a month, is only for SSO, HIPAA and more projects. | CNo published figure for this size, or any size. Growth, Pro and Enterprise are all quoted by sales from monthly active users, or tracked users for Behavior Analytics. Contentsquare, PostHog and Amplitude, listed beside it, publish prices. This doesn't, so it sits at C. |
| Free plan and trial | BNo card and no time limit: 1M events, 5,000 recordings, 1M flag requests and 1,500 survey responses every month, with unlimited members. Usage stops at the limit, so no surprise bill. You get 1 project, and recordings are kept a month. | CNo free plan, but there's a free trial account with most core products and a sandbox full of sample data. How long it lasts isn't stated, and nothing on record says it needs a card. |
| Features | AAnalytics, web analytics, replays, flags, A/B tests, surveys, error tracking, logs and a data warehouse with pipelines in and out. Graded against Amplitude, Mixpanel and Heap, it covers the whole job, and none of them bundles errors, logs and a warehouse too. | BUnlimited A/B, split URL and multivariate tests, bandits, guardrail metrics, heatmaps, recordings, form analytics, personalization and feature rollouts. Graded against the tools it's listed beside, it covers the whole testing job. Multivariate tests start on Pro. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. The cloud version is a snippet and a sign-up, but there are a lot of products to learn and events to plan. The free self-hosted version is a Docker deploy PostHog doesn't officially support, which is a developer's job. | CNo rating on record. The visual editor lets you change a page without code, but planning tests and reading the statistics takes learning, and paid plans start with a demo. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, so it can't reach an A. It pulls data in from Stripe, HubSpot, Salesforce and Postgres, sends events out to Braze, Klaviyo and others, and works with Snowflake, BigQuery and Zendesk. | BWeb only, with no desktop or phone app. It works with Google Analytics 4, Tag Manager, Shopify, WordPress, Salesforce, HubSpot, Segment and Mixpanel, though API access is Enterprise only. |
| Best for | a whole product toolkit on one free allowance | A/B testing a website's pages |

Who each one suits
PostHog
- Startups and developers who want many product tools under one bill
- Teams that want to cap spend with a billing limit per product

Wingify
- Marketing and growth teams running regular website tests

Worth knowing
PostHog
- Usage is metered per product, so the monthly bill moves with traffic; billing limits can be set for each product to cap it.
- SSO enforcement, a HIPAA BAA and unlimited projects need the $250-a-month Boost package on top of usage; SAML sign-in needs Scale at $750.
- The free plan keeps recordings for 1 month and data for 1 year, allows 1 project, and drops events past its limits.
- Self-hosted PostHog is officially unsupported and has no tagged releases; PostHog recommends always running the latest image.
Wingify
- No prices are published: every plan (Growth, Pro, Enterprise) is quoted by sales, based on monthly active users or, for Behavior Analytics, monthly tracked users.
- Session recordings and heatmap data are kept 30 days on Growth, 60 on Pro and 90 on Enterprise; other data is kept 13 months.
- Single sign-on, API access, approval workflows and self-hosting of the test script are Enterprise features.
- VWO and AB Tasty agreed to merge in 2026; existing contracts and pricing stay unchanged, according to the announcement.
