Icinga pricing

Icinga publishes 2 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.

Model: Open source core, with paid repository, module and support subscriptions sold separately
Tiers: 2
Free tier: Yes

Icinga 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.

Icinga pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
Icinga	Free	3	Entry tier
Support Subscription	On request	2	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.

People bring Icinga in for an it team wanting unlimited-scale open source monitoring with no per-host licence fee, running standard linux distributions, an organisation on rhel or sles that wants officially packaged icinga builds via the repository subscription rather than building from source, a team wanting an sla-backed vendor support relationship rather than relying on community forums for a production monitoring system, a company already invested in prometheus and grafana wanting to add host and service-level alerting from a compatible open source tool. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Icinga are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

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.

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

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 Icinga badges page.

Before you pay for Icinga

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: 2 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.

Icinga runs on linux, web, and is published by Icinga GmbH of Nuremberg, Germany. The full record is on the Icinga review, and the rest of the category is under best networking tools.
