Costs not in the plan price
- Application Observability on Pro starts at $0.025 per host-hour, about $18 per host, and the free tier includes 2,232 host-hours a month.
- Trace costs have three parts (processing, writing and retaining), so the per-GB figure alone understates the total.
- Alerting is documented for metrics and logs, so alerts on trace data may need metrics derived from traces.
