Log Monitoring for Startups
Ship faster with affordable, instant-setup log monitoring built for early-stage teams.

- $Enterprise pricing starts at hundreds of dollars per month, blowing through a startup's budget before you even reach product-market fit.
- $Setup requires deploying agents, configuring pipelines, and learning a proprietary query language just to see basic log output.
- $Usage-based billing with no clear caps means a single traffic spike can generate an unexpected four-figure invoice.
- $Designed for large organizations with dedicated DevOps teams, not two founders working from a coffee shop.

5-Minute Setup
One npm install, one line of init code, and your logs are streaming. No agents, no YAML, no infrastructure to manage.
Starter Plan at $9/mo
Get 2 apps, 50,000 logs per month, and 7-day retention for less than the cost of a lunch. Predictable pricing with no surprise overages.
Live Console
Watch logs stream in real time as your users interact with your app. Spot errors the moment they happen, not hours later in a batch report.
Zero Overhead SDK
The async, batched SDK adds virtually no latency to your app. Your users never notice it's there.

The Starter plan at $9/mo is the entry point. It covers 2 apps with 50,000 logs per month and 7-day retention, which is more than enough for most early-stage startups validating an MVP.
No. The SDK is designed with zero overhead in mind. It batches log entries asynchronously, so your application performance is not affected. Your users will never notice it's there.
LogMonitor uses predictable plan-based pricing. You can monitor your usage from the dashboard and upgrade or adjust your logging strategy before reaching your limit. No surprise bills.
Yes. The JavaScript SDK works in both browser and Node.js environments. You can also use the HTTP API to send logs from any backend service, serverless function, or script.
Console.log output disappears when the process restarts and is impossible to search or filter. LogMonitor captures, stores, and indexes your logs with timestamps, metadata, and user context so you can search, filter, and stream them in real time from a clean dashboard.
