## Use anonymous events
PostHog captures two types of events: [**anonymous** and **identified**](/docs/data/anonymous-vs-identified-events). Under our current [pricing](/pricing), anonymous events can be up to 4x cheaper than identified ones (due to the cost of processing them), so it's recommended you only capture identified events when needed.
