Grafana pricing

Grafana 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.

As of 30 August 2026, Grafana pricing is free, then $19/month across 3 published tiers. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

Entry price: Free, then $19/month
Model: Usage-based
Tiers: 3
Free tier: Yes

Grafana 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.

Grafana pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
Free	Free	4	Entry tier
Pro	$19/month	5	+$19/month, 5 more features
Enterprise	$25000/year	4	+$24981/year, 4 more features

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 Networking

Too few networking 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.

Grafana entry price against other Networking tools
Tool	Entry price	Model	Rated	Head to head
Grafana (this page)	Free, then $19/month	usage-based	-
MikroTik RouterOS	On request	One-time purchase, per licence level	-	vs Grafana
Cisco Meraki	On request	quote, hardware plus mandatory recurring licence	-	vs Grafana
PRTG Network Monitor	On request	Per sensor tier, billed monthly on an annual contract	-	vs Grafana
OpenVPN	Free	Open source core is free; Access Server billed per simultaneous connection	-	vs Grafana
Icinga	Free	Open source core, with paid repository, module and support subscriptions sold separately	-	vs Grafana
pfSense	Free	Open source Community Edition, free; commercial Plus edition sold separately by Netgate	-	vs Grafana

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 Grafana badges page.

Before you pay for Grafana

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 $25000/year, 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.

Grafana runs on web, api, and is published by Grafana Labs of United States. The full record is on the Grafana review, and the rest of the category is under best networking tools.
