Infrastructure Monitoring is $0.04 per host-hour for any size host ($29 a month), and Foundation & Discovery is $0.01 per host-hour ($7 a month).

You agree to a minimum annual spend, usually on a 1 to 3 year contract, and every capability you use (host monitoring, log ingest, queries, sessions and so on) draws down that commitment at the prices on your rate card. All generally available capabilities are included in the subscription.", + }, + { + question: "Does Dynatrace have a free trial?", + answer: + "Yes, a 15-day free trial.

Usage beyond the minimum annual commitment is billed monthly on demand at the same rates as prepaid usage, or you can raise the commitment to get a lower unit price.", + }, + { + question: "Is Dynatrace cheaper than New Relic?", + answer: + "It depends on what drives your bill. Dynatrace charges for monitored hosts by memory size and hour, plus data volume, and has no per-seat fees. New Relic charges per GB ingested after a free 100 GB a month, plus a monthly fee per core or full platform user. Many hosts with few engineers tends to favour New Relic's model; a small fleet with a large team tends to favour Dynatrace's.
