Observability & APM · SigNoz Inc.

SigNoz

Open-source, OpenTelemetry-native observability platform combining metrics, traces and logs on ClickHouse.

Visit SigNoz Alternatives

SigNoz is an open-source alternative to Datadog/New Relic that stores metrics, traces and logs on ClickHouse and ingests via OpenTelemetry natively, giving teams a single self-hostable backend instead of stitching Prometheus, Jaeger and an ELK stack together. It ships a community edition free to self-host, plus a managed cloud offering and a paid enterprise self-hosted tier for teams that want the same stack without operating it themselves. Its dashboards, alerting and APM views are built specifically around OTel data, making it a natural landing spot for teams that have already standardized instrumentation on OpenTelemetry and want to avoid per-host or per-seat SaaS pricing.
