The short version

  • Only LogRocket 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; LogRocket there is no free tier, only a 14 day trial; the Core plan starts at $176 a month for roughly 25,000 sessions

Where each one falls short

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
  • Pro edition starts at 190 euro per month billed annually, and Ultimate at 275 euro per month billed annually; prices are published in euros only
  • The CloudAI SaaS edition is capped at 50,000 services even though self-hosted Pro and Ultimate scale to over 100,000 hosts

LogRocket

  • There is no free tier, only a 14 day trial; the Core plan starts at $176 a month for roughly 25,000 sessions
  • Pricing scales with sessions captured, so cost tracks traffic rather than seats
  • Galileo AI features are withheld from the Core plan and need Pro
  • API and MCP access is limited on Core, with 500 credits a month on Pro and 2,000 on Enterprise
  • Unlimited seats and streaming data export are Enterprise only
