You pay for what you need, and that is a good model. They are also quite happy to talk to you about your uses and your use case. They will even go as far as suggesting things that you don't need to do in order to save you money. At one point, I was quite surprised at how cheap it could be if we wanted it to be or how much they would help us manage our costs. This was probably a good sales approach, but it is definitely true that they will look at stuff, and say, "We think you could save money by not necessarily doing this," and, "You don't need to do this," and, "The Drop Filters are the same. You will save money by doing this." Then, they put that feature in there to help you save money. This is a really good way of doing it because it also means that we can run as many services as we want without having to worry about scaling up.

At the time it was set up, we thought Logz.io was very reasonable for what we were getting in terms of how much time and hosting costs it was saving us, because you don't have to run the servers for it anymore. However, it has been a couple of years since I have looked at the cost. There are no additional costs unless you want to use one of their add-on services, e.g., security services, which we don't need. We find their pricing strategy very transparent and adaptable. That has made things much easier for us.
