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 Loki badges page.
Before you pay for Grafana Loki
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: not published on the record we hold. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Grafana Loki runs on self-hosted (open source), managed (grafana cloud logs), enterprise (self-managed with support), and is published by Grafana Labs of United States. The full record is on the Grafana Loki review, and the rest of the category is under best logging tools.
