The alternatives in detail

In order of how closely each one matches New Relic.

  1. Site24x7

    4.3$9/mo

    vs New Relic$1 lessSame

    Observability platform for DevOps and IT operations with AIOps: anomaly detection that learns each monitor's normal, Zia forecasting, causal AI event correlation that groups alert storms, and Zia agents for automated fixes.

    • Anomaly detection that learns each monitor's normal behavior
    • Zia-based forecasting of response time and traffic
    • Causal AI event correlation that groups related alerts

    Free forever plan for uptime of up to 50 resources

    Plan structure with add-on packs takes time to work out

  2. Logz.io

    4.0Not listed

    vs New Relic−0.3

    Observability built on open source - logs, metrics and traces with OrionIQ, an agentic layer that investigates incidents rather than only alerting on them.

    • Log management, infrastructure monitoring and distributed tracing
    • OrionIQ agentic observability for incident investigation
    • AI-powered insights with App 360 and Kubernetes 360

    Open-source foundation means familiar tooling and less lock-in

    Observability costs scale with data volume and need active management

  3. Metaplane

    4.1Free

    vs New Relic−0.2

    Data observability platform that monitors tables for anomalies and lineage issues across the data stack.

    • Automated anomaly detection across monitored database tables
    • Column-level data lineage tracing
    • Custom SQL monitor creation for specific data-quality rules

    Free-forever tier covers real monitoring (10 tables), not only a time-limited trial

    Exact paid-tier pricing isn't published, requiring signup or sales contact to see real costs

  4. Logmind

    3.9Not listed

    vs New Relic−0.4

    AIOps platform that parses unstructured log and event data to detect and correlate IT infrastructure issues before they cause downtime.

    • Format-agnostic log parsing that ingests unstructured data without a connector for every source
    • Real-time event correlation across infrastructure, network, application, and security logs
    • Automated root-cause recommendations tied to detected anomalies

    One of the only non-US-based vendors named in Gartner's log analytics market guide

    No public pricing, every deal needs a sales conversation

  5. Anodot

    3.9Not listed

    vs New Relic−0.4

    Autonomous business monitoring - AI anomaly detection and automated incident correlation across revenue, cost, and customer-experience data.

    • Autonomous, continuously-learning anomaly detection
    • Automated incident correlation across related anomalies
    • Revenue protection: payment, subscription, ad-spend monitoring

    Correlates related anomalies into one incident instead of alert-flooding a team

    No published pricing - expect a sales-led evaluation

  6. GobbleCube

    3.9Not listed

    vs New Relic−0.4

    AI revenue-analytics platform that turns marketplace and e-commerce data into channel-level growth actions for brands.

    • Unified dashboards pulling data across marketplaces and D2C channels
    • Predictive analytics for pricing, promotions, and inventory decisions
    • Channel-level sales-leak detection with actionable recommendations

    Consolidates marketplace, rapid-delivery, and D2C data that brands otherwise track by hand

    Pricing is not public, adding a sales step before a brand can evaluate cost

  7. Soroco

    4.0Not listed

    vs New Relic−0.3

    Measures how hybrid human and agent workflows actually run, including agent autonomy rates.

    • Context-aware process intelligence from observed work
    • Agent adoption and autonomy measured after deployment
    • Early warning signals for business operations

    Measures agent autonomy after deployment, not just before

    No published pricing
