Does Middleware have a free tier?
Yes, Middleware provides a free tier of 100GB of data per month, suitable for development environments or smaller deployments.
Why data-size based pricing instead of per event or per host?
We believe sized based pricing is the most transparent pricing model in the space. It is the truest form of paying for what you use, and no more or no less. Per event pricing is skewed heavily towards the vendors margins, as an "event" is an arbitrary sized object. Host based pricing ends up being more expensive for customers when they have spiky traffic or orchestrated infra (k8s, etc.).
How can I manage high data volumes and reduce costs?
Middleware's Pipeline provides processors and other toggles that can be used to drop data at the source or at time of ingestion. When dropped at the source you'll save on both egress and Middleware bill.
How are Synthetic Checks charges calculated?
We charge based on the number of synthetic checks (pings). Every ping made to your configured endpoint will count as an individual synthetic check. The first 20K checks are free. After that you will be charged 1$ per 5k checks.
Do you have a discount for startups and non-profits?
We do! Contact us to learn more about discount options.
