Monitoring and observability platform for logs, metrics, traces, and uptime.
Metered, app-scoped pricing with separate plans per solution; pricing is based on usage dimensions such as host count, agent count, daily log volume, retention, page views, or monitors. Public pricing is shown as starting monthly rates, and some tiers require contact for custom plans.
Sematext offers a 14-day trial and says no credit card is needed to start. Monthly and annual billing are supported, and annual prepayment receives a 10% discount; if you use multiple solutions with annual prepayment, the discount increases to 15%. The pricing guide says there is no commitment unless you choose annual payment, and that plans and retention can be changed up or down at any time with immediate effect. Credit cards are charged on the first of the month for the previous month’s usage, and unpaid charges can result in Apps being disabled if payment fails through the 15th.
