OpenObserve is transitioning to a fully usage-based pricing model effective June 2nd, 2025, eliminating minimum fees and the free tier. The new pay-as-you-go structure charges $0.30 per GB for log, metric, and trace ingestion, with additional fees for queries, pipelines, and advanced features like RUM and error tracking. Existing free-tier customers receive a 30-day exemption period, while current standard-tier customers will have their flat monthly fees removed after 30 days. New customers can access a 14-day free trial. The company emphasizes that their open-source version remains completely free for self-hosting, providing users with flexibility to choose between managed cloud services or self-managed deployments. This pricing change aims to create a more transparent, scalable cost structure that aligns charges with actual resource consumption while supporting OpenObserve's continued development and platform improvements.Description - OpenObserve announces usage-based pricing starting June 2025.
