Troubleshoot your stack, not your monitoring bill
Blog post from New Relic
New Relic has revamped its pricing model to simplify observability for users, introducing a perpetually free tier and reducing costs associated with data ingestion and user access. The new pricing structure aims to address common challenges in observability, such as hidden costs related to data sampling, complicated pricing models involving multiple tools, and outdated host-based pricing methods. The free tier includes 100 GB of data ingestion per month and unlimited basic users who can query data and create dashboards. A standard plan is available for $99 per user, offering comprehensive access to New Relic's platform, which includes application performance monitoring, infrastructure monitoring, and more. The pricing model allows for flexible pay-as-you-go options and volume discounts for annual commitments, aiming to provide transparency and scalability akin to cloud services. This change is designed to eliminate barriers to comprehensive data collection and monitoring, enabling users to instrument their systems without financial penalties.
