New Relic pricing
New Relic, Inc. · Per GB / usage · Pricing snapshot: June 2026
New Relic New Relic replaced per-host pricing with a two-part usage model: you pay per GB of telemetry ingested (all signals counted together) plus per user. The first 100 GB/month and one full user are free, which makes it attractive for small teams. It uses usage-based: per-gb ingested (all telemetry) + per-user (full platform / core). Headline pricing: 100 GB/mo free, then $0.40/GB + per-user. Free tier: Free forever: 100 GB ingest/month + 1 Full Platform user + unlimited basic users.

Cost pros & cons
Where New Relic saves money
- Generous free tier: 100 GB/mo + 1 full user, free forever
- All-telemetry ingest meter is simple to reason about for small teams
- No per-host penalty for dense Kubernetes nodes
Watch-outs
- Per-Full-Platform-user pricing ($99-$349/user) gets expensive for big teams
- Heavy log/trace volume blows past the 100 GB free allowance fast
- Two-axis model (data + users) can surprise when both grow
Accuracy note: Per-GB and per-user rates vary by Original vs Data Plus and by Standard/Pro/Enterprise edition; verify the exact combination on New Relic's pricing page.
