| Pricing | $7/mo per host (Foundation & Discovery, billed at $0.01 per host-hour) — a unit rate, not a purchasable entry contract · free tier: 15-day free trial plus a sandbox environment; no permanent free plan | USD $49/month for SigNoz Cloud Teams (shown against a struck-through $199/month), including $49 of usage; $19/month for the first 12 months under the startup programme · free tier: Self-Hosted Community edition has no licence fee (you run the infrastructure); Cloud markets a 'Get Started - Free' trial whose length is not published |
| Pricing model | Commitment-based usage pricing (Dynatrace Platform Subscription, annual commitment drawn down at rate-card rates) | Usage-based subscription with open-source self-hosted option |
| Best for | Large enterprises running hybrid, multi-cloud and Kubernetes estates that want APM, logs, RUM, synthetics and runtime security consolidated into one commitment, have regulated compliance needs, and benefit from unlimited seats and hourly metering. | Fast-growing startups and mid-market SaaS engineering teams already standardised on OpenTelemetry, spending roughly $200-$3,000/month on telemetry, who want unlimited seats and hosts, published usage rates and the option to self-host later. |
| Avoid if | You are a startup, SMB or single-app team, need a published self-serve entry price or month-to-month flexibility, have no capacity for a DQL and platform training ramp, or run heavy ad-hoc trace/log exploration on a fixed budget. | Your security review requires audit logs, multi-tenancy or mature fine-grained RBAC today, you need a deep third-party review and analyst evidence base before purchase, you intend to self-host without DevOps capacity, or you need a fixed published price for long-term retention. |

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.
