| Important considerations |
Starter is limited to one site; funnels, revenue tracking, custom properties, and API access require the Business tier. | Cloud counts pageviews, custom events and each stored event property toward usage. Session replay and heatmaps require Cloud Business or Enterprise; Business includes 5,000 replays, then $0.005 each. Cloud has features beyond self-hosting; check edition parity and operating costs. |
