Pricing Philosophy & Cost Advantage
We believe security logging should not be constrained by ingest limits, surprise overage bills, or opaque volume-based pricing. Logcollect is designed to make telemetry costs simple, predictable, and dramatically lower than traditional SIEM and pipeline vendors.
Our Pricing Philosophy
In real-world environments, Logcollect is often significantly less expensive than traditional SIEM ingestion and telemetry pipelines, especially for Windows-heavy and high-volume deployments.
No data volume penalties
You should not have to turn off log sources to control cost.
No ingest or GB/day fees
You should not have to turn off log sources to control cost.
No retention charges
Long-term storage for compliance should be affordable, not a luxury.
Endpoint-based & predictable
Pricing is tied to the number of endpoints, not how noisy they are.
Unlimited log volume per agent
Collect everything you need for security and compliance.
Designed for scale
The larger your environment, the bigger the cost advantage vs. volume-based tools.
How Others Price (and Why It Hurts)
Many SIEM and telemetry pipeline vendors use one or more of the following models:
- GB/day ingest pricing
Costs grow every time you add a data source or increase logging levels. - EPS (events per second) tiers
Penalties for traffic spikes during incidents or busy periods. - Per-feature or module licensing
Extra charges for basic capabilities like retention or routing. - Per-node plus volume mix
Complex quotes that are difficult to forecast and budget.
Logcollect vs. Legacy & Pipeline Vendors
- Cribl & similar pipelines
Typically charge based on data volume processed per day. - Traditional collectors (Snare, NXLog)
Per-agent licenses with no built-in SIEM cost reduction. - SIEM platforms
Ingest-based pricing that escalates quickly as you add sources or keep more data.
Logcollect takes a different approach: it sits in front of your SIEM, reduces the volume you send to expensive platforms, and uses a simple, endpoint-based model with unlimited log volume per agent.
What You Can Expect
- Lower SIEM ingestion bills by sending only high-value events to premium platforms.
- Affordable long-term retention for 1–7 years on compressed, low-cost storage.
- Multi-destination routing without paying twice for the same data.
- A straightforward quote based on your number of endpoints and compliance needs.
