Sorry, never used it

Segment is $ 2o-60k for > 50 mn events per month
Try Lemnisk
n
we have 50K$ credits in segment.com
was wondering how much runway would we get
@Srikrishna Factors.ai thanks for the help - their pricing page is so deep hidden, finally found it

Why do you Segment? Apart from data pipelining, are you using any other offerings?
If just pipeline, you can move to Rudderstack at almost free of cost.
s
If you have data in multiple sources, instead of data engineering via ETL+ DWH, a CDP like Segment helps. Just that the cost zooms up in marketing data.
From what I know with our internal efforts, Rudderstack involves lot more engineering effort, and then using it for analytics etc as well.

That's what I asked in the first place, what's the purpose? If just to flow data to multiple platforms, then RS is helpful (not much effort vs cost). I still think Segment would be expensive for something like CDP.
n
as. @Srikrishna Factors.ai said primary use case as we have multiples sources and destinations we currently have website traffic we collect via JS (source) and certain other data we source via API (course registration/consumption/completion) etc. One of the big reasons was data consistency across different platforms.

we have not yet thought of marketing audience building use cases yet.

I would encourage you to move out of Segment, it's going to be expensive for your use case.
n
what alternative would you suggest? I also prefer ones which have no/low tech needs to maintain
a
One is Rudderstack till 5M events a month, initial low tech required, later almost 0. Otherwise write a wrapper inside your code, that can do the job for free without any limits. One time 2-3 days of tech effort.

we have 50,000$ credits in segment.com valid for 1 year

You can use it for now and move later to a self-sustained code wrapper. They charge for Monthly Unique visitors count
