Two categories worth a closer look ## Guides & Surveys, and AI — what each vendor actually has The pricing comparison shows checkmarks, but these two categories deserve detail. They're where Amplitude has expanded most recently, and where customers most often run a separate point provider out of habit. ### Amplitude Guides & Surveys In-app guides, tooltips, NPS, surveys, banners Build onboarding flows, announcements, NPS, and in-app surveys targeted with the **same cohorts as your analytics** — no separate identity sync, no second tag manager.

[Start for free](/start)[Get More Info](/pricing) Methodology & sources## How we sourced these numbers **Benchmark volume:** 5M events — a typical mid-market SaaS footprint. Different vendors meter on different units (events vs MTUs vs sessions vs MAUs vs context keys), and the numbers below normalize to this event volume where possible. Amplitude lets customers choose between MTU-based and event-based billing; where this analysis cross-references the two, it assumes a typical events-per-MTU ratio of \~1,000 (Amplitude's internal benchmark). - **Amplitude Plus:** Amplitude offers both MTU-based and event-based billing — customers choose. At \~5M events (typical for \~5K MTUs at a 1,000 events-per-MTU ratio), the annual contract is $5,388 prepay or $561/mo monthly billing. Per [amplitude.com/pricing](/pricing). Plus caps at 25M events. - **ContentSquare:** Sales-only except entry Growth tier ($40/mo, 7K sessions). Vendr 2026 benchmark: small deployments $30–80K/yr, mid-market $50–150K/yr, enterprise $200–500K+. ContentSquare acquired Heap in 2024, so the platform now spans DXA + product analytics. - **Pendo Base:** Sales-only. Entry paid tier includes Product Analytics + In-app Guides only — Session Replay, NPS Sentiment, Orchestrate, Listen, and Data Sync are add-ons or higher tiers. Per Vendr / community-reported quotes: \~$8K–$35K/yr range; \~$10–20K typical at \~5K-MAU scale. Sold in 1,000-MAU bundles. Median annual contract for the broader Pendo platform is $48,500. - **FullStory Business:** Public starting price \~$199/mo. Vendr median \~$27,500/yr across nearly 400 purchases. Note: 5M events typically corresponds to 200K+ sessions, pushing real cost higher than the listed 50K-session entry tier. - **LaunchDarkly Foundation:** Repriced in 2025. Current public rate is $8.33 per 1K client-side MAU + $10/service connection (billed yearly), from launchdarkly.com/pricing. New “AgentControl” add-on bills AI runs at $5/1K past the first 5K free. - **PostHog Pay-as-you-go:** Fully public usage-based rates at posthog.com/pricing. Calculated total at 5M events / 50K replays / 1M flags: \~$560/mo ≈ \~$6,720/yr. - **Optimizely / One Platform:** Sales-only with no published rates. **No free, starter, or essentials tier exists** — Optimizely discontinued its free Starter plan in 2018. Entry floor is \~$36K/yr for Web Experimentation standalone. Bundled deployments commonly land $60K–$150K+/yr. Full Optimizely One DXP suite reaches $200–400K+/yr per Vendr 2026 benchmarks across \~50+ transacted deals. - **Appcues Grow:** Sales-only above the Start tier. Grow tier targets up to 50K MAUs; observed range $9–15K/yr. - **WalkMe:** Sales-only. Vendr median \~$43K; typical deployments land in the $50–100K/yr range. SAP-owned since 2024. - **LangSmith:** Public — Plus is $39/seat/month + $2.50 per 1K traces, from langchain.com/pricing-langsmith. - **Langfuse:** Public — Pro $199/mo, Enterprise $2,499/mo, from langfuse.com/pricing. Self-host option available. **Caveats:** All sales-quoted figures are negotiated and vary by 20–40% based on contract length and competitive pressure. Vendr benchmark data reflects actual transacted prices, not list. Amplitude Growth/Enterprise tiers (above 25M events) are also custom-quoted and not represented here. **Pricing disclaimer:** All prices are sourced from public pricing pages and third-party benchmark aggregators (Vendr) as of May 2026.
