24 ranked picks · Updated daily

Self-hosted monitoring, Grafana, Netdata, and the open-source observability stack

Datadog, New Relic, and Grafana Cloud all charge per host or per metric. Self-hosted Grafana + Prometheus + Loki gives the same dashboards on infra you already own.

Cheapest path: grafana on hetzner for $4.13/mo, that's about $130/year less than Datadog.
