I am a Segment.com customer, but their new pricing model is going to cost me 10x the plan I'm currently grandfathered into. There don't appear to be any alternatives to Segment - so much so that I'm thinking of building a similar service with a different pricing/business model.
What do people think about that idea?
Now we experiment with Keen.io [1] to track events for different/new features in our tool. We started to track events from our backend, but for user behaviour we would use it to track events from the frontend as well.

if you have 100K users, track 10 Events mer month, you are at 1M event, which will cost you $ 100 on segment based on MTUs and $100 on mixpanel based on 1M events.
What are the services you are currently using?
[Disclaimer] I am working on building a new analytics platform myself, purely on the data drill-down, dashboards and reporting etc. Cost of ingestion is relatively high, and segment is actually one of the cheaper pure ingestion service I am aware off.
I'm interested in how people use a combination of server side and client side tracking. Everything in my jurisdiction is front end.
GA for frontend.
