OpenReplay vs Plausible

Our take

Pick OpenReplay if product / eng teams who will stay on OSS self-host $0 while they record a first session, then start the Dedicated 7-day trial (no card) and land on $199/month when they do not want to run the stack. Pick Plausible if indie / small-site teams who will start the 30-day Cloud trial (no card) and land on Starter at $9/month (10k pageviews, 1 site, 3-year retention) — or self-host when they will run
