New Relic Free Tier FAQ
There’s no catch. Every engineer gets instant access to New Relic’s intelligent observability platform at no cost.
The free offering includes access to New Relic with no hidden costs or credit card required, including:
- 100 GB of free data ingest from any source every month.
- Unlimited basic users that have the ability to run queries and create and view custom dashboards.
- One free full platform user. This includes platform access to New Relic: APM, infrastructure monitoring, digital experience monitoring, logs, serverless monitoring, and more.
Once an engineer’s usage increases beyond these levels, New Relic makes it easy for customers to upgrade to meet their growing needs.
You can access New Relic beyond the free tier limits with a monthly, pay-as-you-go option, or pay only for what you use with New Relic Compute. It’s the same as how you are paying for cloud service providers and similar services. Here’s how it works:
- All new accounts start with a free tier. You can add data sources, invite teammates, and use the New Relic platform.
- As you exceed the free limits, you’ll be prompted to add your credit card, and you’ll only be charged for what you use above the free limit each month.
- If you’re looking to scale New Relic across your organization, you can choose New Relic Compute to pay only for what you use. Select discounts are available for growing organizations..
Unlike other consumption-based pricing options in the industry, New Relic offers an approach that gives you more flexibility to accommodate seasonal spikes and dips in usage. That flexibility comes from having an annual commitment pool with roll overs between months rather than a monthly commitment amount with a use-it-or-lose-it limitation or overage bills.
