The short version
- Only LogRocket has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: LogRocket there is no free tier, only a 14 day trial; the Core plan starts at $176 a month for roughly 25,000 sessions; 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
