Add me to the list of former Segment users. A pricing change made them want to bump our bill from $199 to $10999.

I would explain to them that this was insane. They’d grandfather me in for a quarter. But every quarter I’d get new urgent emails from a new account rep who thought they were going to make a huge score.

We rebuilt event pipes (really not that hard) in house and used stitchdata for pulling from external sources. DIY isn’t without work, but use a hosted Kafka and it’s really not a ton of work. And gives you a ton of flexibility.

I get their niche but I don’t trust their pricing/business further than I can throw them.
