Self-hosted: you pay for compute/storage only (a ClickHouse cluster sized to your ingest volume, plus object storage for longer retention). Data stays wherever you run it. Enterprise support for self-hosted SigNoz is part of the Enterprise plan (from $4,000/month). SigNoz Inc., San Francisco.
Managed alternatives
At 3,000 GB log ingest / month, 50 monitored hosts. Adjust usage and requirements.
SigNoz has no bill to estimate: you pay for the servers, storage and time to run it. The cheapest managed option here is ClickStack (ClickHouse Cloud) at $1,080/yr, so running SigNoz yourself saves money only if hosting and upkeep stay below about $90 a month.
