What is SigNoz?
SigNoz is an open-source observability platform built natively on OpenTelemetry, combining logs, metrics and traces in one application as an alternative to Datadog and New Relic. It was co-founded by Pranay Prateek and Ankit Nayan in 2020 (Y Combinator W21) and is headquartered in San Francisco. Teams can self-host the open-source edition for free or use SigNoz Cloud, which starts at $49/month including usage.

Key capabilities
- Unified telemetry: Logs, metrics and traces in one OpenTelemetry-native application.
- Deployment choice: Free self-hosted edition or managed SigNoz Cloud from $49/month.
- Alerting & dashboards: Built-in alert rules and visualization on top of ingested telemetry.
Observability, APM and OpenTelemetry-based monitoring are the primary use cases.
Shortlist SigNoz when your team has standardized on OpenTelemetry and wants unified logs, metrics and traces without per-seat SaaS pricing. Compare self-hosting effort against SigNoz Cloud's usage-based ingestion pricing before committing.
Check ingestion pricing (per-GB logs/traces, per-million metric samples) against your actual volume, and confirm your team can operate the self-hosted cluster if you skip SigNoz Cloud.
