Top reasons why devs choose SigNoz over New Relic

“In order to really build trust, you have to have transparency. If you want to trust something, you want to know how it works.” - Elon Musk

SigNoz is open source

We believe the decision of choosing one product over the other ultimately comes down to trust - whether you trust the product to fulfill all your use-cases, whether you trust it to be good value for your money. Trust starts with transparency. SigNoz is open source, so you can take a look at our code, test it out, and then make an informed decision.

SigNoz is OpenTelemetry native

OpenTelemetry is the second most active project in the CNCF, with only Kubernetes being more active. Using an open source standard like OpenTelemetry frees you from vendor lock-in. SigNoz is built to support OpenTelemetry from Day 1. New Relic treats OTel data differently than data from its own SDKs.

Use of columnar database for faster ingestion & aggregation

SigNoz uses ClickHouse - a fast open source distributed columnar database. Ingestion and aggregations are lightning-fast, while providing best-in-class compression for economical storage. Learn why is ClickHouse so fast.

No user-based pricing, collaborate peacefully

User-based pricing is outdated. You never know which engineer might need to access the monitoring tool for debugging. At SigNoz, we don’t charge based on user seats. New Relic’s user pricing can go up to $549/user. Even for teams with 10-15 devs, the cost becomes significant. At scale, the cost of adding users can go up to 66% of the total bill. Learn more.

For 20 APM hosts, 50 million indexed spans, 50 infra hosts, and 2500 GB logs data, SigNoz can save 67% of your New Relic bill. Lean more.
