SigNoz
Open-source observability for logs, metrics and traces, billed per GB ingested with retention chosen per signal.
- Error tracking and observability
- No
- $49/month for Teams, and the $49 is usage credit rather than a fee on top — SigNoz bills against it before charging more.
- Not documented
Who it suits.
Teams that want per-GB billing without per-host or per-seat charges, and the option to run the same product themselves rather than being locked to the cloud version.
Consider something else if…
$0.30 per GB is six times OpenObserve's rate, so a high-volume log pipeline pays a large premium for the packaging.
