Frequently asked questions

How accurate is this calculator?

These are estimates based on publicly listed prices. Datadog, Splunk, and New Relic offer negotiated enterprise contracts that may differ. LogFlow pricing is exact — what you see is what you pay.

Why is Datadog so expensive for logs?

Datadog charges per GB ingested per day of retention ($0.10/GB/day), plus per-host infrastructure fees ($15/host/month for Pro). The per-host fee applies even if you only use log management. At 100 GB/month with 5 hosts, that's $245/month.

Does LogFlow really have no per-GB pricing?

Correct. LogFlow plans are flat monthly rates: $19 (10 GB), $49 (100 GB), $149 (500 GB). You pay for the plan that covers your volume. No per-host fees, no per-user surcharges up to the plan limit.

What about New Relic's 100 GB free tier?

New Relic offers 100 GB/month of free data ingest for one user. Above that, you pay $0.30/GB for data and $99/month per additional full-platform user. For a team of 3 at 100 GB, that's $198/month vs $49/month on LogFlow.

Can I switch from Datadog to LogFlow?

Yes. LogFlow supports the same log formats and integrations. Most teams run both tools in parallel for 1-2 weeks before switching. See our migration guide in the Datadog comparison page.
