The short version

  • Only Height has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Checkmk pricing is metered per service (each individual metric or sensor monitored) rather than per host, so cost scales with monitoring depth, not just server count; Height height shut down on September 24, 2025, ending the service and making it unavailable to existing users
