Cost
Comparison
SigNoz vs Langfuse for 1 Billion Spans/Month
We charge based on data size while Langfuse charges per unit count. AI applications generate more spans due to complex agent workflows and tool calls, making unit-based pricing expensive at scale.
Langfuse Core
Base $29 + $60,302 usage (graduated pricing from 100k to 1B units). Langfuse counts traces, observations, and scores as billable units.
SigNoz Cloud
Span sizes typically range from 1 KB to 10 KB depending on your instrumentation and payload complexity. It also includes traces, logs, and metrics with no separate instrumentation.
How SigNoz Compares to
Traditional Tools
| Feature | SigNoz | Datadog | Honeycomb | Grafana LGTM |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GPU Cluster Economics | Usage-based pricing | Host-based pricing | Usage-based pricing | Usage + user seats |
| High-Cardinality Tags | No cardinality limits | Warns against "unbounded attributes" | Built for high-cardinality | 4 backends, mixed handling |
| Span-Level Alerting | Native trace alerts | Trace analytics on span attributes | Triggers on any span attribute | Requires metrics-generator |
| LLM Cost Tracking | 25+ providers via LiteLLM | LLM Observability add-on | Anthropic integration only | Cloud only |
| Trace Funnels | Direct/Indirect Descendant operators | RUM funnel, not APM funnels | Relational queries, not dedicated | TraceQL structural operators |
| Async Workflows (Span Links) | Supported | Supported | Supported | Tempo native |
| Self-Hosting | Built on open-standards | SaaS-only | Private Cloud (Enterprise) | Built on open-standards |
| Unified Backend | Single, ClickHouse | Single backend | Single backend | 4 separate backends |

SigNoz
Your data stays where you want
Use SigNoz cloud with your data staying in the US, EU, or India, or self-host.
Cloud
Fully managed, SOC 2-compliant, ideal for teams who want to start quickly without managing infrastructure.
Self-Host
For tighter security & data residency requirements. It is Apache 2.0 open source, built on open standards.

Lead DevOps Engineer, Brainfish
I've studied more than 10 observability tools in the market. We eventually landed on SigNoz, which says a lot. Compared to Elastic Cloud, it's a breeze with SigNoz.
Niranjan Ravichandra
Co-founder & CTO, Cedana
Getting started with SigNoz was incredibly easy. We were able to set up the OpenTelemetry collector quickly and start monitoring our systems almost immediately.
Poonkuyilan V
IT Infrastructure Lead, The Hindu
Recently, we configured alerts for pod restarts and were able to quickly identify and resolve the root cause before it escalated. Additionally, SigNoz's tracing capabilities helped us spot unwanted calls to third-party systems, allowing us to optimize our applications.
Avneesh Kumar
VP of Engineering, Mailmodo
We have started saving almost six hours on a daily basis, which we can now invest in other tech debts and backlogs. The best thing about SigNoz is that it's open source. I can go into the source code and look at what's happening. That's a great confidence booster for long-term usage.
Khushhal Reddy
Senior Backend Engineer, Kiwi
SigNoz is something we use daily. If I have ten tabs open, six of them are SigNoz. We used traces and it helped us take 30 seconds down to 3 seconds.
