| Pricing | Logs $0.42 per GB (headline card); 1 unit = $1.50 of logs, metrics and traces · free tier: 14-day free trial, no credit card, full feature access, quota of 8 units | USD $15/host/month (Infrastructure Pro, billed annually; $18 on-demand) · free tier: Infrastructure Free: $0 for up to 5 hosts, 1-day metric retention, out-of-the-box dashboards, 1,000+ integrations, unlimited user accounts; Feature Flags free below 1M monthly flag configuration requests |
| Pricing model | Usage-based (unit currency, subscription term commitment with Pay-As-You-Go overage) | Usage-based subscription (per host, per GB, per event, per committer, per credit) with a free tier |
| Best for | Mid-market and enterprise engineering, SRE and security teams ingesting large, uneven log volumes who want to route data by criticality, keep it in their own S3 bucket for long retention, and give every engineer access without per-seat fees. | Cloud-native mid-market and enterprise engineering organisations at reasonably stable scale that are consolidating four or more point tools and have a named FinOps or platform owner to configure ingestion controls, retention filters and Flex tiering from day one — and who will negotiate volume or multi-year discounts. |
| Avoid if | You are a small team with modest volumes and no time for a DataPrime learning ramp, your primary need is deep distributed-tracing root-cause analysis, you require a fixed predictable invoice with no usage modelling, or you cannot forecast annual volume accurately given that unused units expire. | You have a hard fixed observability budget with no capacity to police consumption, run highly elastic or spiky host/container counts, need self-hosted or air-gapped deployment, are a small team just past 5 hosts needing basic uptime, need the full catalogue on US-FED/GovCloud, or need cheap alerting on long-retention log data. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
