Calculate your cost
Logs & Tracing
Logs and Tracing are billed together, by the number of GB ingested across both. The price per GB changes based on your usage. Retention is 14 days by default; set custom retention per service or per source at $0.05/GB per month retained.

Retention
Keep logs and traces longer than the 14-day default. Custom retention bills for the data you keep, not this month's usage: each GB costs $0.05 for every month you keep it, until it expires. Set it per service or per source in your logs and traces settings. Your Logs billing limit stops ingestion but doesn't cap custom retention, and custom retention can't have a limit of its own.

An honest comparison, tl;dr:
Choose a competitor if...
- You want logs only, and plan to keep errors, replays, and analytics elsewhere
- You already have a mature observability stack and just need high-volume log storage
- Your debugging workflow is infrastructure-first
- You’re comfortable jumping between tools to reconstruct context manually
Go with if...
- Agents can act on your logs to find a bug and ship the fix – the context that powers self-driving
- You want debugging context to stay connected automatically
- You want frontend and backend signals in the same tool
- You want OpenTelemetry-compatible logs without adding another tool
- You’re trying to reduce tool switchingLogs, replays, errors, and analytics live in the same debugging flow
