We've been sending our customers free stroopwafels for more than a decade, and now we're excited to announce the addition of a free monitoring plan!
AppSignal's free plan is perfect for low-volume apps and hobbyists, giving you access to our full suite of monitoring tools. Whether you're running a personal project, a small-scale app, or just want to try out AppSignal longer-term with zero cost, our free plan has you covered.
Access All AppSignal Features For Free
Unlike competing tools, AppSignal's free monitoring tier gives you access to our full monitoring toolkit. No feature walls, just worry-free monitoring.
AppSignal's free plan gives you access to:
Error Tracking: Instantly spot and fix errors.
Performance Monitoring: Find slow requests and bottlenecks.
AI Integrations: Connect to AI tools for smarter insights.
Host Monitoring: Track CPU, memory, and disk usage.
Anomaly Detection: Get alerts for unusual app behavior.
Process Monitoring: Monitor background jobs and tasks.
Uptime Monitoring: Know instantly if your app goes down.
Metric Dashboards: Visualize key metrics automatically.
Log Management: Search and review logs with ease.
With support for Ruby, Elixir, Node.js, Python, Java, Go, PHP, and OpenTelemetry-instrumented applications, you can monitor your entire stack with a single tool.
How AppSignal's Free Plan Works
AppSignal's free plan is available for existing customers and new users alike. At the end of your trial, if your app's usage fits within the free plan limits, you can continue using AppSignal for free, forever. Existing customers can also switch to the free plan at any time.
Our free plan includes:
- 50,000 requests
- 1GB logging
- 5 days of data retention
Your usage resets every 30 days and is capped. So don't worry, we won't charge you overage fees.
You can see your usage in real-time in the bottom-right of our side navigation, so you always know how much you have left and when your usage resets.
No Price Walls, No Monitor Limits
Unlike our competitors, we've based this plan on usage, with no caps on users or features. Just simple, small-scale monitoring that costs nothing.
You can:
Create as many check-ins and alert triggers, dashboards, and uptime monitors as you need
Add as many users as you need to your organization
Integrate AppSignal with your favorite third-party platforms and AI tools
Enjoy our complete monitoring and observability toolkit, so you can start improving your app's performance without budget concerns.
Try AppSignal Without Having to Buy
AppSignal's free tier fits seamlessly into our transparent pricing model. When you sign up, you get 30 days of full access to all our tools, with no usage caps and no credit card required. After your trial, we'll suggest the best plan for you based on your usage (so you only pay for what you need - or nothing at all, if you opt for our free plan).
No matter which plan you are on, it is easy to adjust as your app grows. You can scale up or down at any time, and paid plans come with flexible upgrades for peace of mind. We will never push you into a higher plan or bill you for usage spikes. Instead, we will contact you if it looks like it is time to consider an upgrade.
