What to watch for on the bill
- Expensive for small teams and startups; per-seat/per-connection costs are a frequent complaint and median enterprise contracts run ~$72k/year
- Pricing model is complex and hard to predict, layering service connections, per-1K MAU charges, and metered add-ons for experimentation, session replay, and AI runs
- Provisioning seats is reported as a recurring friction point due to cost
- UX for in-depth flag configuration and per-user targeting can feel clunky or hard to understand
