Pricing Policy Update for OpenObserve Cloud
Blog post from OpenObserve
OpenObserve has announced a significant update to its pricing policy, transitioning to a fully usage-based model effective June 2, 2025, with no minimums, which aims to provide more cost-effective options for users ingesting smaller data volumes or utilizing limited platform features. The update includes discontinuing the free-tier Cloud service, requiring current users to switch to a paid plan within 30 days, while new customers can access a 14-day free trial. The new pricing structure includes specific rates for data ingestion, query volume, pipelines, session replays, error tracking, and action scripts, removing the flat monthly fee for current Standard-tier customers, who will also transition to the pay-as-you-go model after a 30-day exemption period. OpenObserve emphasizes that this change aligns costs with actual usage, promotes scalability, enhances transparency, and supports ongoing platform development. Users preferring not to incur charges can opt for the free self-hosted open-source version, which offers complete control with no usage fees. OpenObserve maintains its commitment to open source and provides support to users transitioning to the new model, ensuring they understand the pricing implications and options available.
