Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Azure Monitor

  • Billed per GB ingested across three separate log plans, Auxiliary, Basic and Analytics, so the plan chosen changes the rate as much as the volume does
  • Only the first 5 GB a month of Analytics logs is free per billing account
  • Retention beyond the base period is charged per GB per month, up to 2 years interactive and 12 years long term
  • Log queries and search jobs are billed per GB scanned, so investigating an incident costs money
  • Alert rules are billed per time series for metrics and by execution frequency for logs
  • The pricing page shows placeholders rather than rates until a region and currency are chosen

Jasper

  • The Pro plan at $59 a month billed annually is a single user, and adding seats requires contacting sales
  • Pro is capped at 2 brand voices, 5 knowledge assets and 3 audiences
  • API access, custom agents and advanced admin controls are all Business only
  • The Business plan is custom priced and carries a minimum 12 month commitment
  • Several image tools including upscaling and background replacement are excluded from Pro
  • No word or credit allowance is published for either plan
