What monitoring actually costs, by example

Plans are flat: Free ($0), Pro ($9/month), Team ($49/month), Enterprise (from $129/month). Every monitor of any kind — a website check, an agent node, a LAN probe, a journey — counts one against the plan’s monitor cap. Nothing is metered; if you outgrow a cap on Pro or Team you add a prepaid block (+25 monitors $5, +5 journeys $10, +2 status pages $5, +250 MB log storage $5) or move up; Enterprise limits are set per contract. The examples below are computed from those limits, not estimated.

Four setups

The knobs that change the number

Nothing here is metered per check, per run or per seat above the plan, so the number you compute is the number on the invoice. Full detail on the pricing page; every limit above is the one the product enforces (also published at /llms.txt).
