PostHog price (October 2026) and how to cancel
In the US (as of 2026-10-18), PostHog pricing lists a Free tier with generous monthly allowances (commonly about 1M product analytics events, plus separate free buckets for recordings/flags/errors) and pay-as-you-go above those limits. Paid platform packages (SSO/audit/roles) and usage above free allowances are listed on pricing — Confirm live calculator / checkout. Cancel / remove payment method in Organization → Billing (PostHog Docs).
Stopping SDKs lowers usage but does not remove a card on file alone.
Org admin required. Export insights before you wipe the project.
