Which plan to pickThere's one plan and it's free. Microsoft says it's free forever with no traffic limits. Install the tracking code through Shopify, WordPress or Google Tag Manager and it starts recording within minutes.Start on Free. It covers most small apps, and you get unlimited seats. Growth makes sense when you need saved cohorts, alerts or more than a million events. Young startups should check the Startup Program, which gives a year free.Starter is enough to see where one brand stands. Most businesses with more than one product line or market will want Pro for the extra prompts and countries. Agencies should look at Advanced or Peec's separate agency pricing.
