Every rate here is a published New Relic list price, checked on 16 October 2026. Four official sources were used: the main pricing page, the logs-specific pricing page, a competitor-comparison page carrying the same table, and New Relic's own usage-plan price list in its documentation. Where those disagree, this page says so rather than picking one silently.
Three things are deliberately not priced here. Advanced Compute units are quoted through sales for Pro and Enterprise, so no figure is invented. Live Archives is a real rate ($0.007 per GB-month) that most teams never touch, so it is listed but not multiplied. And negotiated discounts, New Relic offers commitment and savings plans with automatic rollover of unused funds, sit below list price by an amount nobody publishes, so everything below is the ceiling rather than the likely invoice.
The part that surprises people is not the data. At $0.40 per GB, ingesting 500 GB a month costs $160. The expensive line is seats, and it has a cliff in it. Standard will take five full platform users and no more: $10 for the first, $99 for each of the next four, $406 a month in total. Ask for a sixth full user and there is nothing to buy, the whole account has to move to Pro at $349 per user per month, which turns that same six-person team into $2,094 a month before a single gigabyte is ingested. Teams that hit this usually discover that most of the people they were about to add only need dashboards and alerts, which is exactly what a Core user gets for $49.
Data choice matters too. Data Plus costs 50% more per gigabyte than the original option, and for that you get up to 90 days of extra retention and eligibility for FedRAMP Moderate and HIPAA. If regulation does not force the question, buying retention separately at $0.05 per GB per 30 days is usually cheaper than paying the higher rate on every gigabyte you ingest.
Two things drive the bill: how much data you send and how many people need access. Data is $0.40 per GB beyond the first 100 GB each month. Full platform users are the expensive part, $10.00 for the first Standard seat and $99.00 for each of the next four, so five seats cost $406.00 a month. On Pro the same seat is $349.00 a month on an annual commitment or $418.80 pay as you go. A team sending 500 GB with five Standard seats lands at $566.00 a month, or $6,792.00 a year at list prices.
Every month each account gets 100 GB of ingest free, one full platform user, unlimited basic users, roughly eight days of retention and 500 synthetic checks. It is not an allowance that runs out gradually, New Relic warns you at 85%, and if you pass 100 GB in a month it stops ingesting and locks access until you upgrade or until the first of the next month. There is no overage billing on the free tier.
No. Standard is published as $10 for the first full platform user and $99 for each additional one with a maximum of five. Because an account can only run one user edition at a time, you cannot keep five on Standard and buy the sixth on Pro, the whole account moves. Six people on Pro at $349.00 a month is $25,128.00 a year against $4,872.00 a year capped at five Standard seats, so the sixth seat is expensive out of all proportion to the first five. Core users at $49.00 each are the usual way around it.
Not on the pricing page, which says contact sales. But New Relic's own usage-plan price list in its documentation gives list prices of $549.00 per Enterprise full platform user per month on annual up-front billing, $614.88 monthly billing and $658.80 pay as you go, alongside $349.00 and $390.88 for Pro. Treat these as the ceiling before negotiation, not as a quote.
Data Plus costs $0.60 per GB instead of $0.40, half as much again on every gigabyte. What you get for it is up to 90 days of retention over the default, advanced log obfuscation, enhanced streaming and historical export, and eligibility for FedRAMP Moderate and HIPAA on Enterprise. If none of that is required, buying retention on its own costs $0.05 per GB per extra 30 days, which is usually far cheaper than paying the higher rate on all your ingest.
$49.00 per user per month on every edition, Standard through Enterprise. A Core user gets everything a basic user gets, dashboards, queries, alerts and instrumentation — plus error tracking, logs and telemetry inside their IDE through the CodeStream extension. Basic users cost nothing and are unlimited, so the question is really whether someone needs logs and code-level data or only dashboards.
No. Since usage-based pricing, billing rests on two things: users, and either data ingest or compute. Hosts, agents, containers, devices, Fargate tasks and cloud functions are unlimited at no extra cost, and New Relic does not charge for data egress or data hydration, which several competitors do.
