Firebase Analytics vs KISSmetrics
Both stand on funnel analytics. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.

Firebase Analytics covers core product analytics, including retention, funnels, revenue, and crash insights, at no listed cost. Choose it when those reports matter more than session replay.

Free plan API
Choose KISSmetrics if event, funnel, or ecommerce tracking and API access match your needs. The free plan has a stated event and seat allowance, while Growth starts from 500k events. Look elsewhere if session recordings are essential.
