👍 Good boy
- +Ingests 100 GB of telemetry data each month completely free with zero credit card required.
- +Provides one full platform user with access to 50+ enterprise capabilities including APM.
- +Supports unlimited basic users for stakeholder dashboard access and alert notifications.
- +Eliminates host counts and per-server pricing, allowing deployment across unlimited instances.
👎 Watch out
- −Default data retention on the free tier is limited to 8 days.
- −Adding a second full-platform user requires upgrading to the Standard tier at $99/user/month.
- −Data ingestion stops if your application exceeds the 100 GB monthly ceiling without an attached card.
- −Platform interface contains over 50 separate product modules, creating initial navigation complexity.
The catch
Data collection pauses when you exceed 100 GB of monthly ingest, and retention is 8 days on the free tier.
