# Observability Cost Calculator

Separate ingestion from searchable retention so a noisy environment’s real cost is visible before you buy more seats or hosts.

## 0.0 GB/month ingested

$0.00 / month$0.00 ingest + $0.00 indexed logs

### Monthly

$0.00

### Annual

$0.00

### 3-year

$0.00

Planning estimate only. Taxes, currency, regional pricing, discounts, commitments, support and minimums may change the final invoice.

## How this estimate works

This separates ingestion from indexed retention. Many observability vendors meter those separately, and indexed events are not the same as gigabytes. Use your actual usage export whenever possible.
