  "tagline": "Managed Prometheus, Loki and Tempo",
  "price": "Free: 10K metric series, 50GB logs, 50GB traces, 50GB profiles, 14-day retention, 3 users. Pro $19/mo platform fee plus $6.50 per 1K series and $8 per active user.",
  "tier": "mixed",
  "pick": false,
  "what": "Hosted Prometheus, Loki, Tempo and Pyroscope with Grafana dashboards, synthetic monitoring and alerting on top. The free tier is unusually generous on volume at 50GB each of logs and traces per month. The same components are open source, so you can migrate to a fully self-hosted stack later.",
  "why": "Fifty free gigabytes of logs plus a credible self-hosted escape hatch means you are never locked in on price, and OpenTelemetry ingest works out of the box.",
  "warn": "The free tier caps you at 3 active users and 14-day retention. Metrics bill by active series, so high-cardinality Prometheus labels inflate the bill the same way they do on Datadog.",
  "install": "docker run -d -p 3000:3000 grafana/grafana",
