| Pricing model | Usage-based (per-GB ingest) for Cloud; tiered subscription for self-hosted; free open-source edition | Usage-based subscription with open-source self-hosted option |
| 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. | 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 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. | 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.
