People bring VictoriaMetrics in for keeping months or years of prometheus metrics without the memory cost, high-cardinality metrics where prometheus struggles, consolidating metrics from many prometheus instances into one queryable store. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to VictoriaMetrics are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

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 VictoriaMetrics badges page.
Before you pay for VictoriaMetrics
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: a single tier at Free. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
VictoriaMetrics runs on linux, docker, kubernetes, self-hosted, and is published by VictoriaMetrics of Tallinn, Estonia. The full record is on the VictoriaMetrics review, and the rest of the category is under best cloud tools.
