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.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about the product and billing.
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.
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.
Are there other billing options?
We can customize billing plans to meet your needs. Contact sales → to learn more.
