      Frequently Asked Questions

      01

      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.

      02

      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.

      05

      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.

      06

      What makes CubeAPM a strong New Relic competitor?
