Pricing for New Relic
How pricing changes as you scale: upgrade triggers, cost cliffs, and plan structure (not a live price list).
Freshness & verification
Pricing behavior (not a price list)
These points describe when users typically pay more and what usage patterns trigger upgrades.
Actions that trigger upgrades
- Team grows beyond 1 full-platform user — each additional full-platform user costs $549/month (annual) or $659/month (monthly)
- Data ingestion exceeds 100GB/month free tier — costs begin at $0.30/GB for every additional GB
- Need for Data Plus ($0.50/GB) for extended retention (90 days), higher query limits, and compliance features
What gets expensive first
- Full-platform users ($549/mo) vs basic users ($0) creates a two-tier access model that frustrates teams wanting equal access
- Default data retention is 8 days for most telemetry — extending retention requires Data Plus at $0.50/GB
- High-cardinality custom attributes are subject to limits — exceeding them silently drops data without obvious errors
Plans and variants (structural only)

Compare pricing trade-offs head-to-head
Use these comparisons when you are down to two finalists and need a clearer trade-off view.
Next step: constraints + what breaks first
Pricing tells you the cost cliffs; constraints tell you what forces a redesign.
Sources & verification
Pricing and behavioral information comes from public documentation and structured research. When information is incomplete or volatile, we prefer to say so rather than guess.
Something outdated or wrong? Pricing, features, and product scope change. If you spot an error or have a source that updates this page, send us a correction. We prioritize vendor-verified updates and linkable sources.
