Estimate your monthly cost
Enter the volume you expect to send each month. Beta rates include 30 days of retention; GA rates will be higher.
A data point is one metric value at one timestamp. For example, 1 series reported every 10 seconds is about 260K data points per month.
Provide your estimated ingest volume per month, assuming uncompressed logs or traces
100GB after compression
Suggested configuration based on your use case

Why ClickHouse Observability
Lower cost as you grow
Your data is stored once in object storage, not copied to every replica.
Inserts are written once, so you never pay for duplicate compute.
Long retention stays affordable as your volume grows.
Predictable performance
Ingest and queries run on separate compute, so traffic spikes don't slow down search.
Compute scales with your data volume and query load.
Nothing to operate
No collectors, clusters, or shards to run.
Scaling, backups, upgrades, and failover are handled for you.
Sign in with ClickHouse Cloud, with role-based access built in.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. If you want to choose your own replicas, memory, and retention, use the self-managed option. You pay for the compute and storage you provision instead of per GB ingested.
Beta pricing is 50% off list. When Observability becomes generally available, Scale is $0.20 per uncompressed GB for logs, traces, and session replay, and $0.10 per million metric data points.
You can. ClickStack open source is free to run on your own infrastructure. ClickHouse Observability runs it for you, with storage and compute separated, so there are no clusters, scaling, backups, or upgrades to manage, and you pay only for the data you send.
Compare ClickStack open source and ClickHouse Observability ->->
Logs, traces, and session replay are measured in uncompressed GB ingested, the same volume you can see in your collectors and agents today. Metrics are measured in data points.
No. You only pay for the data you send, on both Scale and Enterprise.
Every plan includes 30 days of retention and standard search compute, up to a reasonable allowance. There are no separate charges for compute, storage, or replicas.
No. Session replay uses the same per-GB rate as logs and traces, so there's no extra SKU to estimate.
There are no public volume tiers at launch. If you expect very large volumes, contact sales to discuss committed-use pricing.
Enterprise rates are 30% higher than Scale and add enterprise features such as SAML single sign-on, with more security and compliance capabilities planned for general availability.
Instrument your applications with OpenTelemetry and send logs, metrics, and traces to your managed OTLP endpoint. ClickHouse Observability handles ingestion, storage, scaling, and queries.
