| Pricing | $1,150/month (Pro, includes 1 billion events/month), per two third-party sources · free tier: Free $0 tier advertised as 'Start observing for free. No lock-in'; a third-party source reports up to 100 million events/month, but production caps are UNVERIFIED on any vendor page | $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 |
| Pricing model | Usage-based (event-based) with subscription tiers | Commitment-based usage pricing (Dynatrace Platform Subscription, annual commitment drawn down at rate-card rates) |
| Best for | Cloud-native teams of 10–100+ engineers on Kubernetes or microservices already emitting OpenTelemetry/Prometheus data, whose Datadog or New Relic bill is driven by host count, seat count or custom-metric cardinality, and who want to buy through AWS/GCP Marketplace or deploy BYOC for data residency. | 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. |
| Avoid if | You are a small team with modest telemetry volume facing a $1,150/month floor, you need long log and trace retention out of the box, your procurement requires a fully published self-service price list, or you want a large statistically robust public review base — or you are actually shopping for a SIEM. | 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. |

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.
