The Verbosity Tax

Add Context Without Paying More

Most observability vendors charge by data volume (GB). The more detail you add to your signals, the more you pay. But rich context is what helps you debug faster — you shouldn't be penalized for it. With base14's signal-based pricing, size doesn't matter.

Save up to 90% on detailed signals

At 5 KB per signal (typical for logs with stack traces or spans with rich context), GB-based vendors charge up to $2.5K per billion signals. base14 Scout pricing stays at $250 — add all the context you need.
