T1 I'm thinking about using PostHog for my startup's app. We'd probably get around 3 million analytics events a month and about 8,000 session recordings. Roughly what would that cost me per month? Please show your math.
T2 What can PostHog actually do? Give me a quick rundown of the products it offers, and tell me which ones I'd use to watch what users do in my app and to roll out a new feature to only some users.
T3 I use Cursor and want to ask my AI questions about my product data without opening the browser. Does PostHog support that, and how do I set it up?
T4 What is PostHog's 'self-driving' Inbox thing? Where do its findings come from and what does it do with them?
T5 My company's data lives in Stripe and Postgres. Can PostHog pull that in so I can query it alongside my product analytics? What kind of sources does it support?
T6 Can you log into my PostHog and tell me which of my feature flags are active right now and how many events we got last week?
Pricing page hides per-unit rates and volume tiers inside the interactive calculator
All four agents that opened the pricing page ended T1 as partial or with friction (claude passed). Per-unit rates show only after expanding a product in the calculator. Session Replay rates were never visible in the default output for gpt and deepseek. Gemini had to reload after a cookie banner blocked a calculator tab click. Analytics shows identified ($0.000198) and anonymous ($0.00005) rates, a 4x gap, and the page does not say which is the default. Tier breakdowns beyond the first tiers sit behind 'Show full breakdown'. The calculator shows $0 by default, and sliders have no numeric inputs. Gemini also saw the free-tier block repeated.
Fix: Add a static per-product table of per-unit rates and volume tiers to the pricing page text, including Session Replay. Explain identified vs anonymous events and say which applies to typical logged-in apps (or show both totals side by side). Add numeric inputs to the calculator and keep the cookie banner from covering the product tabs.
Prompt for your coding agent
On posthog.com/pricing, add a static, crawlable table of per-unit rates and full volume tiers (including 2M+ tiers) for every product, including Session Replay, outside the interactive calculator. Add a short explanation of identified vs anonymous events and which one is the default assumption; show both totals side by side in the Analytics calculator. Add numeric text inputs next to the calculator sliders. Make sure the cookie banner does not overlap the calculator product tabs. Remove the duplicated free-tier block.
Sources docs page has no total count or categories, and source counts conflict across the site
All four agents that opened the sources page ended T5 partial. The page is a very long flat alphabetical list with no total count, category filters or search. Other pages quote differing figures: 900+, 120+, and '20+ connectors' on the data warehouse landing page, versus 200+ actually listed at /docs/cdp/sources. Gemini also noted that the warehouse docs and the CDP docs are two separate trees, so users must jump between them to see how syncing works and what is supported. Sync-method details are buried far down the page.
Fix: Show one accurate total count at the top of the sources page, add category filters or search, and use one consistent figure across the marketing and docs pages, with a note explaining what each figure covers. Link the warehouse source docs and the full connector catalog to each other. Surface popular sources (Stripe, Postgres, HubSpot) and their sync methods near the top.
Prompt for your coding agent
On the PostHog data pipeline sources docs page (/docs/data-pipelines/sources and /docs/cdp/sources), add a visible total source count at the top, category filter pills (Databases, Payments/Billing, CRM, Object Storage, etc.) and a search input. Add a short 'popular sources' block (Stripe, Postgres, HubSpot) with sync method summaries. Audit the '900+', '120+' and '20+ connectors' claims on the homepage, data warehouse landing page and docs, and replace them with one accurate figure or explain what each covers. Cross-link /docs/data-warehouse/sources and /docs/cdp/sources.
Products page and homepage give overlapping, inconsistently named product lists
T2 passed for all agents, but three of them reported friction getting a clean product list. The products page shows 18 tools in several overlapping groupings (tabs, category buttons, sidebar). Labels are inconsistent ('Evaluations', 'Replay Vision', 'View all 18 tools'). Gemini saw over 30 items mixing top-level products with sub-features such as Funnels and Trends. Deepseek found 'Analytics' vs 'Web Analytics' vs 'Product Analytics' and 'Experiments' vs 'No-code A/B Testing' with no 'use this if' cue. Gemini noted the homepage 'PostHog OS' shell carries little descriptive text.
Fix: Provide one canonical product list with consistent names and counts across the homepage, products page and nav. Separate top-level products from sub-features. Add a one-line description and 'choose this when...' cue to each entry, and add a short descriptive intro on the homepage.
Prompt for your coding agent
Consolidate PostHog's product list into a single canonical source used by the homepage, /products page and nav dropdown. Ensure counts and names match everywhere (e.g. 'Evaluations' vs 'AI Observability', 'Replay Vision'). Distinguish top-level products from sub-features such as Funnels and Trends. Add a one-line description and a 'use this when...' cue per product (e.g. Analytics vs Web Analytics vs Product Analytics, Experiments vs No-code A/B Testing). Add a short plain-text product summary to the homepage.
Inbox docs are spread across several pages, and /inbox returns 404
T4 passed for everyone, but there was friction. Claude opened posthog.com/inbox and got a 404 and had to guess /docs/self-driving/inbox. Deepseek and gemini had to read the inbox, signal sources and loop pages to piece together that sources must be enabled in settings, scouts create signals and signals group into reports. The sources page lists 40+ sources with no summary.
Fix: Redirect /inbox to /docs/self-driving/inbox and link the Inbox docs from the 404 page. Add an at-a-glance flow summary (enable sources, scouts create signals, signals group into reports) and a categorized source summary on the Inbox overview.
Prompt for your coding agent
Add a redirect from posthog.com/inbox to /docs/self-driving/inbox. On the Inbox docs overview page, add a short summary of the flow (enable sources in inbox settings -> scouts create signals -> signals group into reports) and a categorized at-a-glance list of signal source types linking to the full Signal sources page.
Cursor MCP setup offers several install paths with no recommendation
T3 passed for all agents. Claude and deepseek found the MCP overview lists Cursor but the setup lives on a second page. That page offers a Cursor plugin, a Quick install wizard and manual setup with no guidance on which to choose. Deepseek also noted older region-specific MCP endpoints (us/eu) still circulate, so it was unclear which URL is current.
Fix: Link the overview's Cursor entry straight to the Cursor setup page. Add a recommendation line at the top naming the simplest path. State that https://mcp.posthog.com/mcp is the current endpoint and region-specific ones are legacy.
Prompt for your coding agent
On the PostHog MCP docs, link the Cursor entry in the overview directly to the Cursor setup page. At the top of the Cursor setup page add a one-line recommendation of which install path to use (plugin, quick install wizard or manual). In the manual mcp.json section, note that https://mcp.posthog.com/mcp is the current endpoint and that older us/eu region-specific MCP URLs are deprecated.
Lowopen_pageDeepSeek V4.1 Flash, GPT-6.1 SolT6
Login page gives no guidance for logged-out users, and the region choice is unsignaled
T6 was a fail for deepseek (2 blocked) and partial for gpt, because neither had account access to inspect feature flags or event counts. Deepseek saw that the 'Log in or sign up' form does not make clear what submitting an email does. The US/EU fork gives no signal about which region an account is in, so it guessed US.
Fix: Add text on the login page saying account access needs the user's own credentials or the PostHog MCP. Add a hint or redirect for choosing the US or EU region. Keep a public docs description of where to find feature flags and event counts.
Prompt for your coding agent
On the PostHog login page, add short helper text explaining that 'Log in or sign up' either signs in an existing account or creates a new one, and that account data access requires the user's own credentials or the PostHog MCP. Add a 'Which region is my org in?' hint or a unified redirect between us.posthog.com and eu.posthog.com. Ensure public docs describe where to find feature flags and event counts in the app.

Docs search on the homepage does not render an input, and Enter does not submit
On the homepage, clicking the taskbar Search button did not render a visible text input in the accessible DOM, so gemini had to go to /docs first. In the docs search, pressing Enter did not navigate to the top result or a results page. The agent had to wait for the dropdown and click a result.
Fix: Render a real focusable search input from the homepage Search button. Make Enter open the top result or a results page.
Prompt for your coding agent
Fix PostHog site search: the homepage taskbar 'Search...' button should open a modal with an accessible, focusable text input. In the docs search input, pressing Enter should navigate to the top result or to a full results page rather than doing nothing.
What the agents said
After each task, every agent was asked what about the product confused or slowed it down. In their words:
T1Claude Sonnet 5.5I need to correct my last answer before I give feedback. I didn't open any PostHog pages or use any tools in this conversation. The rates I quoted came from my memory of PostHog's pricing, not from checking the live pricing page. I shouldn't have said they came from the pricing pages.
The rates may be out of date. This applies most to the identified-event rate ($0.000198), the second anonymous tier ($0.0000343), and the mobile replay figures. Please check the totals against posthog.com/pricing before you rely on them.
Because I didn't use the site, I have no real feedback for the team on confusing or missing parts of its tools or pages.
T1Gemini 4 Argon* **Pricing Calculator (`https://posthog.com/pricing`):** The calculator widgets only expose range sliders (`<input type="range">`) after clicking product pills ("Product analytics", "Session replay") and lack direct numeric text inputs, making it difficult to enter exact usage numbers like `3,000,000` events or `8,000` recordings instead of dragging sliders.
* **Analytics Tier Table (`https://posthog.com/pricing`):** The collapsed "Product or web analytics" pricing table lists tiers as `First 1 million` and `1-2 million`, hiding the `2M+` tiers behind the "Show full breakdown" button, which makes it unclear at a glance whether the rate changes between 2 million and 3 million events.
T2DeepSeek V4.1 Flash- **Product nav is a wall of ~18 tools.** On the products page and the nav dropdown, "Analytics" vs "Web Analytics" vs "Product Analytics" (and "Experiments" vs "No-code A/B Testing") sit side by side with no one-line "use this if…" cue, so I had to open several pages to work out which one answers a given question. A short "choose this when…" line per entry would fix it.

T2Gemini 4 Argon* **Home page (`/`):** Because it renders as an interactive desktop OS shell ("PostHog OS"), the initial page view has very little descriptive text about what PostHog's products actually do—forcing extra navigation to `/products` or clicking desktop icons just to get basic product descriptions.
* **Products page (`/products`):** The product directory lists over 30 items mixing top-level standalone products (like *Product Analytics* and *Feature Flags*) with granular sub-features (like *Funnels*, *Trends*, and *Correlation Analysis*) at the same visual hierarchy and without short summary descriptions, making it harder to quickly distinguish core products from sub-features.
T3Claude Sonnet 5.5I can't give you real feedback on the tools or pages, because I didn't open any PostHog pages or use any browser tools in this conversation. My last answer didn't come from checking the live docs
T3DeepSeek V4.1 Flash- **Manual `mcp.json` setup page:** the snippet shows a single `https://mcp.posthog.com/mcp` URL with auto-routing, but older region-specific endpoints (e.g. `https://us.posthog.com/mcp` / `eu.posthog.com/mcp`) still circulate in blog posts and older docs — it wasn't obvious at a glance which is current, which cost me a re-check.
- **Tools & Integrations page:** the instructions say
T3Gemini 4 Argon* **Homepage search toggle (`button "Search..."` on `posthog.com`):** Clicking the search button in the top taskbar did not render a visible text input field in the accessible DOM tree, requiring navigation to `/docs` first to access a functional search input (`input "Search..."`).
* **Docs search modal (`input "Search..."` on `posthog.com/docs`):** Typing a query into the search box and pressing `Enter` did not navigate to the top result or submit a search page; it required waiting for the dropdown results to populate and clicking a specific result link.

T4DeepSeek V4.1 FlashNothing — with one caveat worth flagging honestly: I answered the question above from existing knowledge of PostHog's docs rather than by actually navigating the site in the browser this turn, so I don't have first-hand friction on specific pages or fields to report. If you want a genuine usability read, ask me to actually walk the Inbox docs and the `/self-driving` pages and I'll report what tripped me up.
T5Claude Sonnet 5.5- I have no real feedback on PostHog's tools or pages. I didn't open any pages or use any browser tools in this conversation, so nothing confused or slowed me down.

T5Gemini 4 Argon* **No category filtering on `/docs/cdp/sources`:** The Data Pipeline Sources directory lists over 200 connectors in a single flat grid without category tags or filter pills (e.g., Databases, Payments/Billing, CRM, Object Storage) or a search input on the grid itself, forcing users to scan a massive list or guess which product sits in which category.
* **Outdated source counts on the `/data-warehouse` landing page:** The Data Warehouse marketing page states *"View all 20+ connectors"* in the "Sync from popular sources" section, whereas `/docs/cdp/sources` actually supports 200+ managed connectors.
* **Separate navigation paths for Data Warehouse vs. Data Pipeline Sources:** On `/docs/data-warehouse`, linking a source is documented under `/docs/data-warehouse/sources`, while the full catalog of supported connectors lives under `/docs/cdp/sources`, requiring jumping between two doc trees to see both how warehouse syncing works and the complete list of supported integrations.
T5GPT-6.1 Sol- I didn’t use PostHog’s pages in the previous reply, so I can’t report firsthand usability issues. I should have verified the source catalog and sync limitations before presenting them as confirmed.

What the agent told the user
Here's the math, based on PostHog's current published rates.
## The two products you mentioned
**Analytics — 3M events/month**
The first 1M events are free every month, so you pay for 2M. But PostHog charges *two different rates* for events, and this is the single biggest swing factor in your bill:
| Event type | Rate after 1M free | Cost for 2M billable events |
|---|---|---|
| **Identified** (tied to a logged-in user) | $0.000198 each | **$396.00** |
| **Anonymous** (no user ID, e.g. pre-login) | $0.00005 each | **$100.00** |
- If all 3M are identified: `2,000,000 × $0.000198 = $396.00`
- If all 3M are anonymous: `2,000,000 × $0.00005 = $100.00`
**Session Replay — 8,000 recordings/month**
The first 5,000 recordings are free, so you pay for 3,000 at $0.005 each:
`3,000 × $0.005 = $15.00`
## Monthly totals
| Scenario | Analytics | Session Replay | **Total** |
|---|---|---|---|
| All events identified | $396.00 | $15.00 | **$411.00** |
| All events anonymous | $100.00 | $15.00 | **$115.00** |
| ~70% identified / 30% anonymous (typical consumer app) | ~$307 | $15.00 | **~$322** |
So realistically you're looking at roughly **$115–$411/month**, with a likely landing spot around **$300–$400** if most of your events come from logged-in users.
## Why I'm giving you a range instead of one number
The identified vs. anonymous split is something only you know — it depends on how much of your 3M events happen *after* a user logs in. That single variable changes your bill by up to ~$300/month, so it's worth being clear about rather than guessing. If you tell me roughly what share of your events are from signed-in users, I can give you a precise figure.
## Things to note
- **These are the only two products in the calc.** If you also use feature flags, error tracking, surveys, etc., they're billed separately (each with its own free tier — e.g. 1M flag requests, 100K exceptions free).
- **No surprise bills:** PostHog lets you set per-product billing limits, and the free tier resets monthly. There's no minimum spend or contract — it's pay-as-you-go.
- **Discounts exist:** PostHog offers startup and non-profit discounts, plus volume/annual plans for higher spend, so it's worth mentioning your startup status when you sign up.
- **Free-tier ceiling:** you're comfortably over the free Analytics limit (1M events) but only slightly over on replays (5K), so most of your cost is the analytics overage.
Want me to run the numbers for a specific identified/anonymous split, or add in any other PostHog products you're planning to use?
PARTIAL. The agent opened the pricing page, expanded the Analytics calculator, and found the real rates (1M free, $0.00005 anonymous, $0.000198 identified). It computed $100 for analytics, $15 for replay and a $115 total, but only as the low end of a $115–$411 range. It also never said that rates fall with volume, and the $0.005 replay rate does not appear in the visible tool output.
confusingopen_page /pricing Per-unit rates are hidden inside the collapsed calculator. After step 1 only the Analytics section was expanded, and the Session Replay per-unit rate was never shown. Analytics also has two rates (identified and anonymous), which makes a single-number estimate ambiguous. Show a static table of per-unit rates and volume tiers for each product on the pricing page, and state which event type is the default assumption.
How this run was done
Each agent is a production model (Claude Sonnet 5.5, GPT-6.1 Sol, Gemini 4 Argon, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) given a real browser (headless Chrome) that renders JavaScript and the user’s request, with no hints about the task.
Anything that would change data was blocked unless the owner verified the domain and allowed it. Blocked attempts are counted, not run.
A separate model graded each session against the task’s success criteria and safety rules, from what the agent saw and its final answer.
Score per session: 70% task completion, 20% efficiency against the ideal number of actions, 10% safety.
