No. With New Relic user- and usage-based pricing, you no longer have to count hosts or CPUs. Our straightforward pricing is based on just two core metrics—users and data ingest—making it easy to understand what you’re paying for. So you pay a single, low rate for data and a one-time price for each engineer to access 30+ observability capabilities (users are a stable metric, which helps with predictability, and data grows faster than users). New Relic is the only observability vendor that offers user-based pricing (in combination with telemetry-based pricing). We’re also the only vendor to publicly announce availability of user tiered pricing for eligible customers, which helps provide observability for all engineers.
This simple model is widely regarded as superior to legacy host-based pricing. With New Relic, unlimited hosts, agents, containers, devices, AWS Fargate tasks, cloud functions, and more are included at no additional cost.
