See it all. Store what matters. Pay Accordingly.
Our predictable pricing is based solely on the monthly average of the amount of Kubernetes Nodes (of any size or machine type) that are actively monitored by the groundcover eBPF sensor for logs, metrics, traces and events. You decide what to cover, and you can adjust at any time.
Compare your true observability cost
At groundcover, we believe observability costs should be predictable and transparent. This calculator estimates your total cost of ownership and compares it to other platforms — based on real usage.
Cost Calculator
Calculate your total cost of ownership based on your actual usage. Our estimates include infrastructure, ingestion, and platform fees.
Reduced operational burden is not taken into account by the calculator. Those savings are significant, but we like to think you can’t put a price on sleeping through the night.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about the product and billing.
Are there other billing options?
We can customize billing plans to meet your needs. Contact sales → to learn more.
What is considered a host for billing?
A Kubernetes host or any Linux host (of any size) that is actively monitored by the groundcover platform.
How does groundcover calculate the number of hosts I pay for each month?
We keep track of the number of monitored hosts in each environment, and calculate the pricing based on the average number of hosts over the past month so you pay for your average host usage, and not for short-lived peaks.
What makes groundcover’s pricing model unique?
groundcover uses a unique BYOC architecture that processes and stores all your observability data within the walls of your own Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). This cost-effective architecture allows us to break the customary ingestion-based pricing models, offering a solution with predictable and fair pricing.
