When you would pay

You may never need to. The free tier is not a funnel step here, so the sensible move is to use it until something it genuinely cannot do forces the question.

We list Grafana Cloud because the free plan was checked against its own pricing page, not because a vendor asked. If it has changed, tell us and we will re-check it.

When to upgrade to a paid plan
