Infrastructure monitors pricing update-March 2023
Over the years, as we have extensively enhanced our product capabilities and evolved to become a full-stack monitoring platform, we have left our pricing untouched since 2012.
With rapid increases in infrastructure costs, we are forced to increase our prices to ensure we can provide the same level of innovation you are familiar with.
The price increase is mainly for infrastructure monitors. Server and Cloud monitors will now consume two basic monitor licenses in place of one basic monitor license. This includes,
- Agent-based Server Monitoring - Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and OS X servers
- Agentless Server Monitoring - HP, IBM, and Solaris servers
- Kubernetes node & Docker Host Monitoring
- VMware infrastructure - VM, ESX/ESXi Hosts, and Clusters
- Cloud servers - AWS EC2, Azure VM, and GCP Compute monitors
- Nutanix infrastructure - Hosts, VM, and Clusters
Monitors like websites, applications, network interfaces, AWS, plugins, Containers & Pods, etc., will not be affected by this price change. Please note that you will not have to pay more than
20% of your previous bill. If you are not happy with what you have heard from our sales, you can escalate by sending an email to
escalation@site24x7.com.
We plan to update this FAQ regularly to update you with the latest information.
