| Free tier | Free Forever plan, monthly allowances: 100 GB of data ingestion, 1,000 RUM sessions, 20,000 synthetic checks, 10 browser tests and 2 million OpsAI tokens; a credit card is required to activate the plan and only usage above the allowances is charged unit mixed; metered on uploaded-bytes; The allowance mixes ingested bytes with counts of sessions, checks, tests and tokens, so no single unit of the vocabulary fits. The pricing page FAQ still describes a 14-day free trial with unlimited data ingestion for the Free tier and was not updated with the plan announced on 9 September 2026; pay as you go is described there as a flat rate for data volume. |

|---|
| Binding | volume-quota The 100 GB monthly ingestion is the first ceiling for a logging workload, after the card that activates the plan. |
|---|
| Identity | card A credit card is required to activate the Free Forever plan. The sign-up form asks for a username, an email address, a password and an optional company name, or Google or GitHub sign-in. |
|---|
| Egress | unverified: no egress term on the pages read; on cancellation data is kept 30 days so it can be downloaded |
|---|
| Per-object cap | unverified: no per-event or per-log-line size is stated on the pages read |
|---|
| Retention | 14 days on the free tier, against 30 days on pay as you go (14 days) |
|---|
| Interface | unknown Data is sent by Middleware agents, which use OpenTelemetry as their framework, and by other collectors such as Prometheus and database integrations; no management API is named on the pages read, so the interface is unverified. |
|---|
| Tooling | Middleware agents built on OpenTelemetry, other collectors and the web app |
|---|
| Composes with | Logs, host metrics and traces of a free-hosted app in one place, up to 100 GB of ingestion a month on the plan once a card is on file. |
|---|
| Reliability | only usage above the monthly allowances is charged, so an ingestion spike past 100 GB bills the card on file; data older than the 14-day retention is deleted |
|---|
| Notes | The plan needs a card on file, so it is a free allowance behind a payment method, not a no-card tier. |
|---|
| Evidence note | documented The plan, its allowances and the card requirement are quoted from the first-party release notes and product update; the retention comes from the pricing page FAQ, which also still describes a 14-day trial. No account was opened, so the card step is unverified: behind a sign-up. |
