| Free tier | Developer tier, free: 2 million metered events every calendar month at no charge, with free access to feature gates, dynamic configs, experimentation and core product analytics, and 1 year of analytics data retention; past 2 million events gate and config targeting keeps working and metric lift computation stops unit requests; metered on request-count; The unit is the metered event: an SDK call that logs an event, an exposure check with metric lift enabled, an ingested metric or a custom metric. The vocabulary has no events term, so requests is the nearest. An account starts on the Developer tier at sign-up; the Pro tier is USD 150 a month with 5 million metered events. |

| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
Gates and configs keep evaluating past the monthly events, while metric lift computations stop after warning notifications. |
| Binding | volume-quota The 2 million metered events a month is the ceiling for an app with traffic, and exposure checks count against it as well as logged events. |
| Identity | email An account starts on the Developer tier at sign-up and a credit card is asked only when the 2 million events are exceeded. Which sign-in methods the sign-up form offers is unverified: its page text shows no form; any phone step is unverified: behind a sign-up. |
| Egress | unverified: the pricing page lists a data export API (export exposure, event and result data) but its captured text does not show which tier includes it |
| Per-object cap | unverified: no per-event or per-request size is stated on the pages read |
| Retention | 1 year of data retention for analysis on the free tier, against unlimited on Pro (365 days) |
| Interface | rest A Console API at statsigapi.net (CRUD for what the console does) takes a Console API key in the STATSIG-API-KEY header; an HTTP API takes a server-side secret key or a client SDK key in the statsig-api-key header, with every call a POST and a JSON body. SDKs are recommended over the HTTP API. endpoint: https://statsigapi.net |
| Tooling | the SDKs, the HTTP API, the Console API and the web console |
| Composes with | Feature gates, dynamic configs and experiments for a free-hosted app, with the first 2 million metered events a month free and product analytics in the same project. |
| Reliability | past the free events, metric lift computations stop after several warning notifications while gate and config targeting continues |
| Notes | Past the free events the offered upgrade is the Pro tier at USD 150 a month, which includes 5 million metered events a month. |
| Evidence note | documented The free allowance, the card prompt and the retention are quoted from the first-party pricing FAQ and the API limits from its documentation. No account was opened, so the sign-up fields are unverified: behind a sign-up. |
