Editorial take
Why it stands out
Snowplow should be framed as behavioral data and context infrastructure, not just as another analytics dashboard tool.

Tool profile
Behavioral data and customer context platform for first-party event tracking, pipelines, modeling, and real-time customer intelligence.
First-party event tracking
Snowplow belongs in the catalog because it is much more than a basic analytics dashboard. The checked pricing page positions it as a customer context and event data platform with self-managed open-source entry paths, production pipelines, modeling, AI-ready workflows, and real-time customer intelligence. That makes it highly relevant for teams that care about owning first-party behavioral data rather than only reading reports inside a product analytics SaaS.
It also deserves inclusion because the pricing posture is unusually clear about the difference between open-source experimentation and managed production. The checked pricing schema exposes a free test-and-experiment tracking offer for self-managed open-source use, then a fully managed Snowplow Platform for production workloads. That is the kind of buyer-useful architectural distinction that belongs in a premium directory.
