Smart Sampling *
Standard Probabilistic Sampling
*Smart sampling takes contextual information like latency, error, etc. into consideration while making
sampling decision. Therefore it can retain useful samples while operating at much higher sampling efficiency, thus reducing cost significantly.

How does CubeAPM compare to the New Relic pricing model?
Unlike New Relic APM pricing, CubeAPM offers clear, predictable pricing with no hidden fees, making it a more budget-friendly choice.
What makes CubeAPM a strong New Relic competitor?
CubeAPM provides enterprise-level APM features, AI-driven insights, and scalable pricing without the challenges of New Relic enterprise pricing.
Why look for New Relic alternatives?
Many businesses seek New Relic competitors due to its high pricing and complex cost structure. CubeAPM provides a more transparent and cost-effective solution.
How does CubeAPM pricing work?
CubeAPM pricing is based on the amount of data ingested. Since CubeAPM runs on your infrastructure, the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) also includes the cost of infra. CubeAPM employs Smart Sampling to significantly reduce the infrastructure demand, allowing CubeAPM to run with much lower resource consumption compared to its peers. The infra cost of CubeAPM comes out to ~$0.02/GB. For comparison, data transfer to other commercial vendors costs ~$0.10/GB over and above their advertised pricing.
What is Smart Sampling?
Telemetry generates large volumes of data. Popular observability tools either store all data (downside: hugely increased cost) or do random sampling at the edge (downside: loss of information). CubeAPM uses deep context to make sampling decisions, e.g., usual latency of a given API vis-a-vis the latency in the current sample. Thus, CubeAPM's "Smart" Sampling achieves a significantly higher signal to noise ratio in sampling. This enables CubeAPM to handle higher incoming traffic while consuming significantly lesser resources.
What's the easiest way to try CubeAPM?
You can explore the interactive CubeAPM Playground to explore the platform without having to do any setup. To try CubeAPM on your infrastructure, head on to the docs section for setup instructions. You can also get in touch with us to schedule a demo.
