The short version

  • Only Miro has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Miro free tier limited to 3 editable boards; additional boards must be shared as read-only; 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
