| Pricing | 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 | Not published · free tier: None disclosed |
| Pricing model | Usage-based subscription with open-source self-hosted option | Custom |
| Best for | 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. | Mid-to-large Kubernetes/microservices organisations already standardised on Prometheus and OpenTelemetry, generating high-cardinality metrics, comfortable with PromQL, and facing a renewal shock from a host- or volume-priced incumbent — plus teams with data-residency constraints that benefit from a BYOC pipeline. |
| Avoid if | 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. | You are a small team or startup wanting self-serve signup and a visible price, need one vendor spanning RUM, synthetics, security and incident response out of the box, lack PromQL skills, are primarily buying log analytics, or work in procurement that requires published list pricing. |

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.
