MetricFire
MetricFire is a web and API service that runs Graphite and Grafana for monitoring metrics, dashboards, and alerting.

Intro costs $16 a month billed annually and includes 500 metrics, six-month retention, 30-second resolution, two team users, 10 alerts, and unlimited dashboards. Basic is $84 a month billed annually with 1,000 metrics and two-year retention; Core is $429 a month billed annually with 5,000 metrics and the same listed allowances.
