Enterprise Cost Efficiency

Predictable Observability Costs That Scale With Your Infrastructure

Monitor everything without budget anxiety. Netdata’s transparent per-node pricing eliminates surprise bills, data volume charges, and exponential cost curves - delivering 90% cost savings while providing unlimited metrics, logs, and per-second visibility.

Background Hero

Transform Observability Economics

Six ways Netdata eliminates cost barriers while delivering superior visibility

Transparent Per-Node Pricing

Predictable per-node pricing with unlimited metrics, logs, and users. No surprise bills, no volume penalties, no hidden fees - budget with complete confidence.

Zero Egress Charges

Edge-native processing keeps data local, eliminating cloud provider egress fees that consume 15-25% of traditional monitoring budgets.

Resource Efficiency Proven

University of Amsterdam peer-reviewed research confirms Netdata has the lowest CPU and RAM overhead while being the most energy-efficient monitoring solution.

Instant Time-to-Value

60-second deployment eliminates weeks of setup costs. Auto-discovery and algorithmic dashboards mean zero configuration overhead.

Complete Tool Consolidation

Replace Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Alertmanager, and SSH tools with one platform - simplifying licensing, maintenance, and team training.

Verified Customer Savings

25-90% cost reduction across documented customers in government, education, technology, and enterprise - with faster troubleshooting as bonus.

Trusted by organizations achieving verified cost savings

Real Savings From Real Architecture

Budget With Complete Confidence

Traditional monitoring punishes growth with exponential costs. Netdata’s per-node pricing scales linearly with infrastructure - whether you’re monitoring 10 systems or 10,000. No per-GB ingestion charges, no per-user fees, no surprise overages during traffic spikes. P90 billing excludes daily spikes and your top 3 days each month, protecting you from autoscaling cost anxiety.

90% cost savings

See Pricing Details

Budget With Complete Confidence

Eliminate Hidden Egress Costs

Cloud providers charge per-GB for data egress - invisible during evaluation, devastating at scale. Organizations generating terabytes daily face substantial monthly egress costs. Netdata’s edge-native architecture processes everything locally, streaming only aggregated query results. Your metrics stay on-premises, your egress costs stay at zero.

100% egress elimination

Eliminate Hidden Egress Costs

Maximize Infrastructure Efficiency

Monitoring shouldn’t compete with your applications for resources. Netdata consumes <5% CPU and 150-200 MB RAM per agent while delivering per-second visibility. Our storage compression (0.6 bytes/sample) enables years of retention in gigabytes, not terabytes. Customers like 7 Oaks Group achieved 50% infrastructure spending reduction by identifying waste through Netdata’s comprehensive visibility.

36-88% less resources

Maximize Infrastructure Efficiency

Consolidate Without Compromise

Organizations using 8-10 monitoring tools achieve significant cost reductions through consolidation. Netdata replaces Prometheus (metrics), Grafana (dashboards), Loki (logs), Alertmanager (alerts), and SSH (troubleshooting) with one platform. Unlimited metrics, logs, and users mean no feature gating or premium tiers - everything included in transparent per-node pricing.

Consolidate Without Compromise

Deploy Fast, Save Immediately

Traditional monitoring takes weeks to deploy and months to optimize - burning significant engineering time. Netdata’s zero-configuration approach delivers value in 60 seconds: auto-discovery finds services, algorithmic dashboards visualize everything, pre-configured alerts activate immediately. No PromQL training, no dashboard building, no threshold tuning required.
