SigNoz ranks fourth on the strength of simple, data-only pricing. The cloud Teams plan has a $49 monthly minimum that includes $49 of usage, which SigNoz says covers about 163 GB of logs or traces or 490 million metric samples, and after that traces and logs cost $0.30 per GB and metrics $0.10 per million samples. There is no charge per user, per host or for custom metrics, and the Teams plan allows unlimited teammates and hosts. The APM views cover p99, p90 and p50 latency, operations per second, error rate and Apdex for each service, plus top endpoints, database call metrics and external call metrics, and you can click a latency spike to open the traces behind it. Instrumentation uses OpenTelemetry SDKs, so data is portable. The weaker spots are shorter default retention at the base rate and a large jump to the Enterprise tier, which starts at $4,000 a month.
