Coralogix

  • No self-hosted option; cloud-only SaaS requiring use of customer's AWS, Azure, or GCP infrastructure
  • Pricing is purely usage-based per GB with no flat-rate subscription option; suitable for unpredictable workloads but no cost ceiling

Rollbar

  • The free plan allows 5,000 occurrences a month with 30 day retention
  • Retention is a paid ladder rather than a setting, at up to 90 days on Essentials and up to 180 on Advanced
  • Advanced alerting, the RQL analytics query language and SCIM provisioning are excluded from the free plan
  • Enterprise requires a $4M annual plan minimum
  • No price is published for Essentials or Advanced, so only the free tier has a visible cost
