| Important considerations |
Each cloud product is metered separately. The free MIT self-hosted deployment is officially unsupported, with no customer support or guarantees. Only free-plan features are available there; paid-plan features are Cloud-only. | Vendor cloud only, processed on EU infrastructure. Default tracking sets third-party collector cookies (2-year visitor ID, 30-minute session); the optional cookieless mode loses returning-visitor and cross-page session tracking. Page views and custom events share one quota, and recording stops at the plan limit. The API is read-only; session recordings and click heatmaps are not part of the documented feature set. |
