| Important considerations |
Each PostHog product has separate usage metering. Self-hosting is open source but positioned for hobbyist use and requires substantial operational work. | Cloud has no permanent free plan and the trial requires a payment method. Replay, feature flags, and A/B testing require Plus; self-hosting shifts upgrades, storage, security, and backups to your team. |
