What PostHog has cost
We have read this pricing page 3 times since Jan 2021, including archived copies of it. Each figure below was pulled from the page itself, not from a summary of it.

The entry plan changed name here, from Starter to PostHog Cloud. That is a different plan, so the two prices are not a rise or a cut.

Gaps are ours, not the vendor's: where a capture was unreadable, or the price could not be tied to a plan at all, no reading was recorded rather than a guess. See every price change we can stand behind.
