| Important considerations |
The On-Premise core is free; premium plugins and operations add cost. Cookieless tracking requires explicit configuration and reduces returning-visitor accuracy. Disabling analytics cookies does not by itself settle consent or other privacy requirements. | Free and low-cost tiers have small pageview, event, replay, heatmap, funnel, poll, and survey allowances. |
