Pricing calculator: Show analytics use cases

corywatilo opened this issue · comments

There's some confusion with website visitors around what person profiles are and how many you need (understandably!), so @camerondeleone, @raquelmsmith, and I have been working to make it easier to understand.

TL;DR:

  • We'll now show use cases instead of trying to force people to understand events vs the person profiles add-on.
  • There are now multiple ways to add the same event options. Nothing changes on the back-end - just the way the calculator works.

Event type details

  1. Website analytics - events (personless)
  2. Product analytics - events with person profiles
  3. Mobile app - two sliders: events (personless) and events with person profiles
  4. LLM events - two sliders, like above
  5. API events - two sliders, like above above
  6. Other - two sliders, like above above above

Note that the person profiles add-on is now removed. 🎉

How it should work

  • There are now multiple places to add both personless and personful events, but the free tier remains the same (both for events and for person profiles)
  • The free tier of 1,000,000 events now needs to be shared between anywhere you can add personless events (website analytics, mobile, LLM, API, other)
  • The free tier for person profiles now needs to be shared between product analytics, mobile, LLM, API, other
  • Note that this removes the slider option where you choose a % of events to apply person profiles
  • I love the separate sliders for anonymous and authenticated events. I think this is the thing we're missing atm.

  • I strongly think website analytics should just have a separate section on the calc. Jamming it all under one 'Analytics' section feels unnecessary and doesn't match what we do anywhere else. Also feels weird that it's above product analytics when that is our main product.
