A year ago, we set out to transform log analytics pricing by making it as flexible, transparent, and as customer-friendly as possible. We built a model that aligns cost with business value, charging only for data storage and analytics executed. With Flex Licensing, customers can scale usage up or down without breaking the bank, eliminating hidden costs and inefficient licensing structures. There is no more pre-planning or tiering of log data; there is just log ingest with sensible pricing.
