## Recommendation

In other words, OpenObserve is ideal for teams migrating off Datadog, Splunk, or New Relic who want radically transparent pay-per-GB pricing with no seat fees. Best if your telemetry cost is dominated by log and metric volume rather than user count.

## Alternative to consider

Want a mature integration ecosystem? Datadog. Enterprise commit-based platform? Dynatrace or Splunk Observability Cloud. Zero-base signal-level billing? Dash0. Event-based? Honeycomb. Errors-first? Sentry.
