| 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 | 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 | Usage-based (event-based) with subscription tiers | Usage-based subscription with open-source self-hosted option |
| 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. | 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 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. | 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.
