Preserve these limitations and costs: pricing is usage-based per product with per-product monthly free tiers and volume-declining overage rates (not a flat subscription, and free tier does not mean free at scale); Self-driving has a first-month allowance then pay-per-AI-effort; self-hosting is available but discouraged; reviewers report a learning curve from breadth, autocapture limits distinguishing identical buttons, gaps when events go through a dataLayer instead of PostHog directly, and import fidelity issues where custom fields come back empty or jumbled. Do not claim enterprise pricing, retention terms or country-level availability — these are unknown.
