Does Zabbix charge per user?

The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 2 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.

Are these Zabbix 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.

Zabbix pricing

Zabbix 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.

As of 30 August 2026, Zabbix pricing is free across 2 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
Model: Open source, no licence fee
Tiers: 2
Free tier: Yes

Zabbix 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.

Zabbix pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
Zabbix	Free	4	Entry tier
Zabbix Technical Support	On request	4	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.

Zabbix

Free

The entry tier. It covers no device, node or metric limits, full feature set with no paid edition of the software, agplv3 from version 7.0 onward, community forum and documentation only.

Zabbix Technical Support

On request

Over Zabbix, this tier adds:

Tiered subscriptions with defined response times
Access to Zabbix engineers for configuration and performance issues
Bug fix priority and backports
Sold per tier by Zabbix SIA and its regional partners

Where Zabbix stops being free

Zabbix, Free

No device, node or metric limits
Full feature set with no paid edition of the software
AGPLv3 from version 7.0 onward
Community forum and documentation only

No paid tier on record

Zabbix lists a free tier and no priced tier above it in the record we hold.

People bring Zabbix in for a service provider monitoring thousands of customer devices where per-device commercial licensing is the largest line item, branch or industrial sites with unreliable links that need local collection and buffering, mixed estates where the same tool must poll snmp switches, linux hosts, windows servers and java applications, replacing an aging nagios installation while keeping script-based checks that already exist. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Zabbix 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.

Zabbix entry price against other Networking tools
Tool	Entry price	Model	Rated	Head to head
Zabbix (this page)	Free	Open source, no licence fee	-
MikroTik RouterOS	On request	One-time purchase, per licence level	-	vs Zabbix
Cisco Meraki	On request	quote, hardware plus mandatory recurring licence	-	vs Zabbix
PRTG Network Monitor	On request	Per sensor tier, billed monthly on an annual contract	-	vs Zabbix
OpenVPN	Free	Open source core is free; Access Server billed per simultaneous connection	-	vs Zabbix
Icinga	Free	Open source core, with paid repository, module and support subscriptions sold separately	-	vs Zabbix
pfSense	Free	Open source Community Edition, free; commercial Plus edition sold separately by Netgate	-	vs Zabbix

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 Zabbix badges page.

Before you pay for Zabbix

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.

Zabbix runs on linux, docker, kubernetes, web, and is published by Zabbix SIA of Riga, Latvia. The full record is on the Zabbix review, and the rest of the category is under best networking tools.
