| Pricing | From $0.075/GB ingested (Cloud); $39/month self-hosted Starter (up to 50 GB/day) · free tier: Community Edition self-hosted $0 forever (14-day retention); Uptrace Cloud free up to 50 GB and 5,000 timeseries per month; 14-day trial with 1TB and 100k metrics, no credit card | $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 (per-GB ingest) for Cloud; tiered subscription for self-hosted; free open-source edition | Commitment-based usage pricing (Dynatrace Platform Subscription, annual commitment drawn down at rate-card rates) |
| Best for | Mid-size to large engineering teams already standardised on OpenTelemetry with large headcounts relative to data volume, EU data-residency obligations, and the in-house capability to self-host on ClickHouse — especially those running a deliberate cost-reduction migration off Datadog or New Relic. | 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 need 24/7 vendor support for production incidents, in-region US or APAC hosting, a completed SOC 2 attestation as a procurement gate, a substantial independent reference base, or RBAC/SSO without paying for a self-hosted tier. | 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.
