Self-driving pricing

PostHog self-driving is priced on an outcome basis, which means you only pay for a completed piece of work.

You pay a flat $15 per pull request: an actionable report with a code change attached, surfaced in your inbox.

You're only billed for actionable reports that become a pull request. Reports that aren't actionable, or that need your input instead of a code change, are always free.

How PostHog assesses actionability

Before a report can become a pull request, an agent investigates it. It digs into your codebase and your PostHog data to confirm the problem is real and to work out whether there's a concrete change it could make. Based on what it finds, every report lands in one of two states:

• PR (= actionable): There's a clear code change an agent can make right now.
• Report (= needs input): A finding worth your attention that requires input, such as business context or a trade-off between several valid approaches.

What's free

• Non-actionable reports surfaced in your inbox (a problem without a fix)
• Your first 3 pull requests each month

Track your self-driving usage

Each pull request you're billed for:

• Appears in your usage alongside the rest of your PostHog spend
• Respects a dollar billing limit you set
• Pauses when you hit that limit, until usage resets next billing period

Track your spend on the billing overview and billing usage pages.

Control your self-driving spend

You can control your self-driving spend on both the usage and billing side.

Usage

• Disable signal sources with limited usefulness to you
• Disable types of scouts with limited usefulness to you

Billing

• Real-time tracking: See costs as you go
• Custom billing limit: Set hard caps to prevent overspending
• Default billing limit: PostHog sets a default $150 billing limit so you don't accidentally rack up costs without a ceiling
• Usage alerts: Get notified when you hit key thresholds

Manage your billing limit and review your spend on the billing settings page.

When you hit your billing limit, report and PR generation is paused until your usage resets at the next billing period.

Refunds

Self-driving is currently in open beta, and we don't get it right every time yet.

You're charged per PR, so a PR should be worth paying for. We hold every PR to two standards:

• Accurate report: The report identifies a real issue and describes it correctly, without false positives or hallucinated problems.
• Solves the stated problem: The code actually addresses the issue described in the report, rather than a tangent or partial fix.

If a PR doesn't meet this bar, we'll refund it. Get in touch via in-app support and tell us what went wrong.
