Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Kubernetes monitoring cost with Metoro?

Metoro offers a free tier for experimentation (1 cluster, 2 nodes, 200GB/month). Our Scale plan is $20/node/month with 100GB included per node. This is significantly less than enterprise observability platforms that can cost $50-100+ per host. See our full pricing.

Is Metoro a Datadog alternative?

Yes. Metoro provides Kubernetes monitoring, APM, logging, and alerting at a fraction of the cost. We're purpose-built for Kubernetes teams who want deep visibility without enterprise pricing. Many teams switch to Metoro to reduce their observability bill by 50-80%.

How long does setup take?

Less than 1 minute. Metoro uses eBPF technology which means no code changes, no sidecars, and no complex instrumentation. Just deploy our agent to your cluster and start seeing data immediately.

Does Metoro support logs, metrics, and traces?

Yes. Metoro provides full observability including metrics, logs, traces, and profiling data. All signals are correlated automatically so you can quickly find root causes without switching between tools.

Can I try Metoro for free?

Absolutely. Our Hobby tier is free forever - no credit card required. You get 1 cluster, 1 user, 2 nodes, and 200GB of ingestion per month. For larger teams, we also offer a free trial of 14 days to a month on our paid plans so you can evaluate Metoro at scale before committing. Start free now.
