# How do you balance Mixpanel’s ease of use with cost concerns at scale?

Mixpanel’s event, user, and property model makes it easy to track what people actually do, and the segmentation, cohorts, funnels, retention, and flows can be explored quickly without writing SQL. At the same time, cost at scale can be a sticking point, especially when other options feel cheaper for similar event volumes or offer self-hosting. The speed to insight and newer AI capabilities seem like a big plus. How are you thinking about pricing vs. usability as your event volume grows?
