How much does an experimentation platform cost?

Pricing experimentation platforms can be complex due to varying pricing structures and usage tiers, prompting the creation of a detailed pricing model to clarify costs across popular platforms. The model uses assumptions such as Monthly Active Users (MAU) as a standardized benchmark and factors like session and event metrics to enable comparison. Statsig is identified as the most cost-effective and scalable option, especially at higher volumes, with enterprise pricing starting at around 200K MAU, while Posthog is noted as the most expensive with a restrictive free tier. The analysis emphasizes the importance of scalability and bundled discounts when evaluating platforms, as some, like Statsig, offer comprehensive features including advanced experimentation and unlimited feature flags at no extra cost. Understanding these cost dynamics aids in making informed decisions regarding platform selection, and the authors encourage personalized discussions to tailor the best choice for individual needs.
