Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Sumo Logic
- Neither the Essentials nor the Enterprise Suite package lists a price on the pricing page; both link to Contact Sales
- Quoted per GB figures assume an annual commitment, an average of 1 GB of log ingest per day and a US deployment region
- Pricing varies by the AWS deployment region chosen, so the same volume costs differently in Dublin, Frankfurt, Sydney or Tokyo
- Flex pricing bills per TB scanned rather than per GB ingested, so query activity drives the bill
- Feature activation is subject to minimum volume, minimum user counts and service requirements confirmed at the time of the transaction
- The API is limited to four calls per section, ten concurrent in-flight requests, and query processing times out after two minutes
- Self-serve credit card purchase is capped at $25,000; larger purchases must go through sales or a reseller
UptimeRobot
- Free plan is limited to a 5 minute check interval; sub-minute checking (60 seconds) requires the paid Solo plan and faster intervals (30 or 15 seconds) require Team or Scale
- Team plan includes only 3 seats; additional seats are not covered in the base $41/$35 per month price
- Enterprise pricing and faster-than-15-second intervals are custom and require contacting sales
