Hidden Costs Breakdown

1

Volume Overages and Data Limits

high overage

Log volume limits vary by plan tier, and exceeding these limits can trigger significant overage charges or force upgrades to higher-priced plans. The strict volume caps can make it difficult to predict costs during traffic spikes or incident response.

The plans are too expensive for hobbyists but at the same time too limiting for even a smallish site (2G/day is tiny, and that's for $399/mo!)

ELK is good, but it needs to be set up first. We use Loggly. It's easy to set up, there is no infrastructure cost, the only downside is pricing... We are in free tier for now, but we will have to scale up soon...

User Seat Limitations

medium addon

Lower-tier plans have restrictive user limits that can force teams to upgrade to more expensive plans as the team grows, even if log volume remains stable.

Loggly is even more expensive and their user limits for the cheaper plans are a pain in the ass for any medium-or-larger team.

3

Limited Data Retention on Standard Plans

medium addon

Default retention periods are shorter than competitors, requiring upgrades or custom plans for longer historical log retention needed for compliance or forensics.

Default retention periods should be a bit longer

Because I need longer than 7 day retention, and I'd rather pay $40 a month for an EC2 server than pay Loggly's rather steep pricing.

Example: True Cost for 25 Users

License (25 × $159 × 12) $47,700/yr
Volume Overages and Data Limits +15-30% of license costs
User Seat Limitations +$50-$100/user/month
Limited Data Retention on Standard Plans +10-20% of license costs
Estimated Year 1 Total ~$31
That's roughly 0.0× the advertised license price. The median Loggly contract is $261,228/yr across 3 Vendr purchases.
