About New Relic
New Relic pioneered APM and later blew up its own pricing: one platform with 30+ capabilities, billed by data ingested and users rather than per-host mysteries, with a permanently free 100 GB tier. Traces, logs, infrastructure, and real-user monitoring correlate in one place. Query power via NRQL is a strength; per-user fees for full access can sting.
