What Is SigNoz? Features, Pricing & Alternatives

Overview

SigNoz is an open-source observability platform built natively on OpenTelemetry, combining traces, metrics and logs in one interface backed by the ClickHouse columnar database. The Community Edition can be self-hosted free of licence fees, with the operator running the infrastructure^[7].

SigNoz Cloud’s Teams plan starts at US$49 per month including US$49 of usage, with logs and traces at US$0.30 per GB ingested and 15-day retention and metrics at US$0.10 per million samples with one-month retention^[7]. Eligible startups pay US$19 per month for the first 12 months^[7]. Enterprise starts at US$4,000 per month and offers dedicated cloud, bring-your-own-cloud or self-hosted deployment with support^[7]. Being OpenTelemetry-native means instrumentation is portable to other back ends. The trade-offs are a smaller feature set than mature suites, no built-in real user monitoring comparable to leaders, and responsibility for scaling ClickHouse when self-hosting.
