Standard costs $10.00 per month, billed monthly, allows up to five full platform users, and charges $0.40 per GB beyond the free ingest limit. Pro costs $349.00 per month, billed annually, offers unlimited full platform users, and uses the same excess-ingest charge. Enterprise has custom pricing with advanced security and support options. Listed data retention is 8 days. New Relic was founded in 2008 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California, USA.

Tailscale is a zero-config VPN for connecting users and devices across a network. It uses WireGuard to form low-latency peer-to-peer connections, which Tailscale says are end-to-end encrypted so it cannot read users’ traffic. Administrators can use access control lists to specify which users may connect to which devices. Supported identity providers handle authentication, and SCIM supports user and group provisioning. Monitoring features include configuration audit logs, network flow logs, webhooks, and log streaming to SIEM partners. Device posture information can be used in connectivity rules. Taildrop transfers files between devices, while node sharing lets users share a node without exposing it to the public internet. The service runs on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. Personal is free forever for non-commercial use and supports up to six users; Standard costs $8 per user per month. Premium costs $18 per user per month and includes priority support.
