Is IONOS's Monitoring Samples the best deal?

Observability (Logging & Monitoring) · $0/mo

Best in class

IONOS Observability's pay-per-sample model ($0.17 per 1M samples) is a transparent, low-commitment option with no base fee, making it competitive for light monitoring workloads. However, the lack of comparable alternatives in the filtered results means we cannot confirm whether better deals exist in the broader observability market.

Before you switch

Verify your expected monthly sample volume; at high ingestion rates (>100M samples/month), compare total cost against fixed-tier competitors like Datadog, New Relic, or Grafana Cloud
Confirm whether sample pricing includes all metric types, logs, and traces, or if certain data types incur separate charges
Check IONOS's data retention policy and whether you can export or migrate data if you switch providers later
If using IONOS VPS or Web Hosting alongside Observability, factor in renewal pricing shock (2-6x increase) and outbound data transfer costs ($0.036/GB for 2-10TB) into your total cost of ownership
