# Statsig Pricing Review (2026): What It Really Costs URL: https://whatshouldibuildnext.com/review/statsig-pricing-review Type: review Locale: en Published: 2026-10-11 Updated: 2026-10-13 --- > A Statsig pricing review for solo devs and small teams: the live price list, derived costs from 10M to 300M events, four review platforms and competitor rates. *Pricing audit - updated October 13, 2026* ## Statsig Pricing Review (2026): What It Really Costs The live price list, the event math, four review platforms and three competitors' published rates, read through the eyes of a dev who ships alone. ## Verdict **Score: 7.8/10** Statsig's pricing is the cheapest serious way to run flags and A/B tests: 2M events a month free, then $150 a month with 5M events included and $0.05 per extra 1K. At 50M events that works out to about $2,400 a month. The catch is ownership: the product is now run by Amplitude, so re-check the terms before you commit. **Quick scores:** - Free tier value: 9/10 - Cost at scale: 8/10 - Billing predictability: 6.5/10 - Feature depth: 9/10 - Ownership stability: 6/10 **Pros:** - 2M free events a month with unlimited seats and no credit card - Flat $150 Pro plan with a published $0.05 per 1K overage rate - Flags, experiments, analytics and replays billed from one meter **Cons:** - Metered events are not the same as raw events, so bills are hard to forecast - Acquired twice in eight months, with pricing terms still open to change - Steep learning curve reported by 46+ G2 reviewers, and docs aimed at engineers *Call to action: See Statsig pricing* (Free plan, no credit card required) > **Disclosure** — Disclosure: this site has no affiliate arrangement with Statsig, so every link to the product points to the official site and we earn nothing from clicks or signups. We did not pay for a Statsig plan to write this report. It audits public evidence (the live pricing page, official blog posts, review platforms and competitor price lists) as of October 13, 2026, and says so wherever a claim rests on someone else's data. ## How this pricing audit was built - **Plan paid:** None (free Developer tier terms and public plan data audited) - **Version tested:** Public pricing page and docs as served on October 13, 2026 - **Test period:** 2026-10-12 → 2026-10-13 **Test categories:** Live pricing page, Event metering rules, Cost modelling at 10M to 300M events, Cross-platform reviews, Competitor price lists, Ownership timeline This is an evidence audit, not a month of hands-on experiments. We did not subscribe, so we make no claim about how the console feels on your own traffic. We fetched the live pricing page without cache, read the metered-events FAQ, pulled ratings from G2, Capterra, TrustRadius and Product Hunt, read Statsig's posts on the OpenAI and Amplitude deals, and compared the published price lists of PostHog, LaunchDarkly and GrowthBook. Cost figures beyond the $150 base are our own arithmetic, labelled as derived. Scores are our weighting of the evidence, not a lab result. ## Should you pay for Statsig? **YES if you...** - Solo devs and small teams who want flags plus A/B tests without a $500 a month floor - Products with real traffic where the free 2M events are not enough but 5M to 50M is - Teams that want experiments, analytics and replays under one SDK and one bill **NO if you...** - Anyone who needs a fixed per-seat price and cannot tolerate usage-based bills - Teams that want a vendor with a settled owner and roadmap for the next three years ## What Statsig charges, as of October 13, 2026 ### Developer — $0/mo Growth tools for individual builders - 2M events per month - Unlimited flag and config checks - 50,000 session replays per month - 1-year analytics retention - Unlimited seats, no credit card ### Pro — $150/mo *(Best value)* A complete platform for growing teams - 5M events included, then $0.05 per 1K - Unlimited flag and config checks - 100,000 session replays per month - Advanced experimentation and analytics - Unlimited analytics retention - Change reviews and approvals, API controls ### Enterprise — Custom Scalable solutions for large organizations - Event or experiment based contracts - Warehouse native deployment - SSO, role-based access, teams - Priority support, HIPAA eligibility (BAA) - Volume discounts **ROI breakdown:** Derived from the published rate: Pro costs $400 a month at 10M events, $900 at 20M, $2,400 at 50M and $4,900 at 100M. That is about $40 to $49 per million events, with a marginal rate of $50 per million. Vendr's contract data shows a median buyer paying $82,500 a year across 87 purchases. **Hidden costs & gotchas:** - Each Pro subscription covers one project only; extra projects are upgraded independently - Overages are billed on the next invoice, so a traffic spike shows up a month late - Extra dimensions on a logged event count as additional events - Enterprise pricing is not published, and data import from other analytics tools is Enterprise only ## Real review-platform ratings Read directly from each platform on October 13, 2026. Capterra and Product Hunt samples are tiny and several reviews are vendor-invited, so read them as anecdotes rather than a verdict. *[Interactive widget — see the live page for the full experience]* *Pricing page* ## What the live page shows The page leads with three tiers and one loud claim: the most affordable offering for each of its five-plus products. There is no seat column, which is the whole point of the model. *Plan comparison* ## The compare-plans table starts here Further down, the compare-plans table splits features by tier. Core experimentation and flags sit on the free plan, advanced statistics and unlimited analytics retention move to Pro, and SSO and warehouse native deployment sit on Enterprise. *Docs* ## Documentation overview The docs are organised around experiments, feature management and analytics. They read as engineering documentation first, which matches what Capterra's reviewers say about onboarding non-engineers. ## The numbers behind the price - **Free events per month (Developer):** 2 M events *(Published pricing page, fetched live October 13, 2026)* - **Pro base price:** $150 per month *(Includes 5M events and 100,000 session replays)* - **Overage rate on Pro:** $0.05 per 1K events *(About $50 per extra million events)* - **Derived Pro bill at 50M events:** $2,400 per month *($150 + 45,000 x $0.05; our arithmetic from published rates)* - **Median annual contract (Vendr):** $82,500 per year *(87 purchases, range $14,650 to $199,250)* - **G2 rating:** 4.7 /5 *(348 reviews, 82% five-star; many invited by the vendor)* > What does the free Developer plan actually include? 2M events a month, unlimited flag and config checks, 50,000 session replays, one year of analytics retention, unlimited seats. No credit card required. > Where does the paid plan start charging more than $150? Above 5M metered events in a month, at $0.05 per additional 1K. Overages land on the following month's invoice. > How readable is the documentation for a first-time user? Clear structure by product area with quickstarts and a warehouse-native track, written for engineers. Non-engineers will need help. ## Pros and cons ### Pros - **The free plan is genuinely usable** — 2M events, unlimited seats and 50,000 replays covers most side projects and early products without a card on file. - **One meter for four products** — Flags, experiments, analytics and replays are priced under the same event model, so there is no separate analytics bill. - **Transparent overage math** — The $0.05 per 1K rate is published, so you can model your own bill before signing up. ### Cons - **Metered events are a subset of events, not a raw count** — Exposures with metric lifts, logged events, ingested and custom metrics count, and extra dimensions count again. - **Ownership has changed twice in eight months** — OpenAI announced the deal in September 2025, then Amplitude took over on May 5, 2026. The published numbers could move at your next renewal. - **Learning curve and developer-first docs** — G2 lists Learning Curve (46), Steep Learning Curve (42) and Lack of Guidance (28) among the most common cons. - **Enterprise price is a black box** — Anything above Pro becomes a sales conversation, with warehouse native, SSO and priority support all gated. ## Final verdict **Score: 7.8/10** On price alone, Statsig earns its reputation. The free plan is large enough to ship a real product on, the Pro plan is a flat $150 with a published overage rate, and the arithmetic stays friendly well past 50M events a month. For a solo dev or small team that wants flags and experiments without a per-seat bill, that is hard to beat. The risk is not the price list, it is who stands behind it. Statsig has gone from independent to OpenAI to Amplitude in under a year, and Amplitude's own roadmap talks about integrating the two products by the end of Q3. Nothing published says prices will rise. Nothing guarantees they will not. Our advice: start free and check the usage page after a week. Statsig is a strong buy for teams who treat experiments as a habit, and the wrong buy if you only need three flags. **Dimensional scoring:** - **Free tier value:** 9/10 — 2M events, unlimited seats - **Cost at scale:** 8/10 — About $50 per extra million events - **Billing predictability:** 6.5/10 — Metered events need a week of data - **Feature depth:** 9/10 — CUPED, sequential tests, warehouse native - **Ownership stability:** 6/10 — Two acquisitions in eight months *Call to action: Start on the free plan* ## Common questions ### How much does Statsig cost? The Developer plan is free with 2M events a month. Pro is $150 a month with 5M events included, then $0.05 per additional 1,000 events. Enterprise is custom. These are the figures on the live pricing page as of October 13, 2026. ### Is Statsig really free? Yes, within limits. The Developer plan includes 2M events, unlimited flag and config checks, 50,000 session replays, one year of analytics retention and unlimited seats, with no credit card. If you pass 2M events, gates keep working but metric lift calculations stop until you upgrade. ### What counts as a metered event on Statsig? Exposures from experiments or flags with metric lifts enabled, logged events, ingested metrics from a warehouse and custom metrics. Exposures from 0% or 100% rollouts and disabled flags are not charged, and each extra dimension on a log event counts as an additional event. ### How much would 50 million events cost on Statsig Pro? About $2,400 a month by our arithmetic: $150 base plus 45,000 extra thousands at $0.05, or $2,250. At 10M events it is $400, at 100M it is $4,900. Enterprise contracts can be cheaper at volume. ### Who owns Statsig now? Amplitude. OpenAI announced the acquisition in September 2025, and Statsig's own blog says Amplitude acquired the product, brand and customer base on May 5, 2026, while the original team stayed at OpenAI. ### Is Statsig cheaper than LaunchDarkly or PostHog? For flags plus experiments at moderate volume, usually yes, but the meters differ. LaunchDarkly bills $10 per service connection and $8.33 per 1K client MAU a month; PostHog gives 1M free events and 1M flag requests then bills by usage. Compare on your own traffic. ### What do customers say about Statsig? G2 rates it 4.7/5 across 348 reviews, praising ease of use and experimentation. Common complaints are the learning curve and lack of guidance. Capterra (5.0, 2 reviews), TrustRadius (8.9/10) and Product Hunt (5.0, 6 reviews) are small and lean positive. ## Update log - **2026-10-13** — Initial publication: pricing audit with event math, four review platforms, competitor price lists and the Amplitude ownership timeline. ## FAQ ### How much does Statsig cost?
