Pricing
Per collector. Never per gigabyte.
Telflo is free for your first 15 collectors, every feature included. Past that, we put a per-collector price on your fleet. How much data flows through your collectors never changes your bill.
Free
For side projects, homelabs, and trying Telflo on a real fleet.
- Up to 15 collectors
- Every feature included
- Unlimited team members
- No trial clock, no expiry
Custom
For fleets past 15 collectors, whether that's a rack of VMs or a few thousand nodes.
- A per-collector price sized to your fleet
- Every feature included
- Unlimited team members
- Annual invoicing and procurement
- Self-hosted available for large fleets
Every plan includes AI assistance and pipeline testing under a fair-use policy.
Included in every plan
Every plan is the whole product
Free or custom, you get the same Telflo. The only thing pricing changes is the size of your fleet.
Visual builder with live YAML
Drag 35+ OTel components onto the canvas or edit the YAML directly. Both stay in sync.
AI assistance
Describe the pipeline you need in plain English and get real Collector config back.
Real-schema validation
Type-checked references and schema validation catch broken configs in the editor, before they reach a collector.
Behavioral pipeline testing
Run config changes against sample data and assert on the output before anything ships.
OpAMP fleet management
Push validated configs to your whole fleet over OpAMP. No SSH loops, no manual restarts.
Drift detection
See which collectors are running which config version, and spot drift at a glance.
Version history
Every config change is versioned, with one-click revert to any previous version.
Kubernetes and server deployments
Enroll collectors on K8s or plain servers with scoped deployment tokens.
Unlimited team members
Invite your whole team with admin and member roles. We don't charge per seat.
Why per collector
Your bill changes when you deploy, not when traffic spikes
You choose when to add a collector. Traffic just happens. With per-collector pricing, the only thing that moves your bill is deliberately growing your fleet.
Why we can price this way
Telflo is a control plane. It manages the configuration your collectors run, over OpAMP, while your telemetry flows straight from your collectors to whatever backend you choose. Our costs scale with the number of collectors we manage, so that is what we charge for. Metering your data would mean billing you for something that never passes through us.
Where per-GB pricing belongs
Per-gigabyte pricing is fair when a vendor stores or processes your data, because their costs really do grow with volume. It stops being fair when a management tool charges for gigabytes it never touches. That turns every new service you instrument into a bigger bill for the same management work.
FAQ
Questions about the model
Any OpenTelemetry Collector connected to Telflo over OpAMP. A collector you shut down stops counting.
No. Your telemetry flows straight from your collectors to your backends. Telflo manages the configuration, so we charge for collectors under management. 1 GB a month or 100 TB a month, the price is the same.
Yes, and it stays free. 15 collectors, every feature, no credit card, no trial clock.
Nothing breaks. When you're ready to connect more collectors, tell us about your fleet and we'll put a per-collector price on it.
Because we price per collector, and a fair number depends on the fleet. A team with 20 collectors and a team with 2,000 shouldn't be squeezed into the same tiers. Tell us what you run and we'll come back with a real number.
No. Free and custom both include the full product: the builder, AI assistance, validation, testing, and fleet management. The only thing that changes is how many collectors you can connect.
No. Invite your whole team on any plan. We want everyone who touches a pipeline working in Telflo.
AI assistance and pipeline testing are included in every plan under a fair-use policy. Normal day-to-day use won't hit it, and if you somehow do, we'll talk to you before anything is throttled.
For larger fleets, yes. Tell us what your environment needs and we'll walk you through the options.
By invoice. Once we agree on a price we set up billing directly, and we can invoice annually if that's what procurement prefers.
