Are these Checkly prices current?

They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.

Checkly pricing

Checkly publishes 3 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.

Entry price: Free
Model: Subscription
Tiers: 3
Free tier: Yes

Checkly plans, side by side

Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

Checkly pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
Hobby	Free	6	Entry tier
Team	$64/month	8	+$64/month, 8 more features
Enterprise	On request	7	Priced on request

What each tier adds

The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

How that compares in Logging

Too few logging tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Checkly entry price against other Logging tools
Tool	Entry price	Model	Rated	Head to head
Checkly (this page)	Free	subscription	-
Cronitor	Free, then $2/monitor/month	Pay-per-monitor plus user seats	-	vs Checkly
Uptime.com	On request	subscription	-	vs Checkly
Traceloop	Free	Freemium with pay-as-you-go enterprise option	-	vs Checkly
Openstatus	Free, then $30/month	-	-	vs Checkly
Healthchecks	Free, then $5/month	Per-job monitoring with fixed tiers	-	vs Checkly
incident.io	Free	subscription	-	vs Checkly

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Checkly badges page.

Before you pay for Checkly

Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.

What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between Free and On request, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.

Checkly runs on web, cli, api, and is published by Checkly of New York, NY and Berlin, Germany. The full record is on the Checkly review, and the rest of the category is under best logging tools.
