What to preserve during the move
Keep the event taxonomy and identity rules alongside the dashboard. A visually similar funnel can measure a different population, and historical events may not import into the new model.
Compare the working setup, not just the starting plan
Use the publisher’s current plan and deployment documentation for a real quote. Count the people, usage and required integrations in this workflow, then include migration and ongoing ownership. The options are organized by task, not claimed to be the cheapest.
How to use this comparison
Run the same small workflow in your shortlisted products: keep the input, output and required integration the same. The table records documented scope; it does not report a side-by-side product test.
