## New Relic

- `dev-services/new-relic` | qualifies-with-caveat | evidence documented | binding volume-quota | category observability platform: APM, infrastructure, logs, browser and synthetic monitoring | tier Free
- needs card no, phone unknown, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-11-02T00:37:34.246Z (live) | stale on 2026-12-03
- url https://newrelic.com/pricing
- free tier: Perpetual free tier: 100 GB/month of data ingest, one free full platform user, unlimited basic users, default data retention of at least 8 days, 500 synthetic checks; no credit card… | unit: GB | metered on: uploaded-bytes | read on: 2026-10-30 | source: [1] | note: Basic users can ingest data, query, build dashboards and set alerts; the one full platform user reaches all 50+ capabilities, APM and logs among them. Ingest beyond 100 GB costs USD 0.40 per GB on a paid edition.
- per-object cap: unverified: no per-event size is stated on the pages read
- retention: Default data retention of at least 8 days. Default namespace retention for the original data option: APM and browser 8 days, logs and custom events 30 days, infrastructure integrations 395 days (13 months). | days: 8 | source: [2]
- egress: unverified: no egress term on the pages read; data is read back through the NerdGraph GraphQL API | metered: no | source: [3]
- identity: email | detail: The sign-up form asks for a company e-mail and a name, or sign-in with Google, GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket, behind reCAPTCHA; no credit card is required. New Relic's documentation lists Google and Google Workplace as separate social sign-up options, and its Learn site lists the free-account steps as create the account, verify the e-mail address, then create a password. A July 2020 post in New Relic's organization on DEV Community lists only a name and an e-mail address as the sign-up input, and an October 2022 walkthrough on Medium reports that the form accepted a Gmail address. Whether the Company Email field accepts an address at a public mail domain now, and whether a later step asks for a phone number, are unverified: behind a sign-up.
- interface: graphql
- limits:
  - volume-quota (binding): 100 GB of data ingest per month; above it ingest stops and platform access is lost until the first day of the next month or an upgrade [1]
  - volume-quota (binding): one full platform user; 500 synthetic checks [1]
  - retention-clamped: default data retention of at least 8 days; 8 days for APM and browser data [2]
- binding note: At 100 GB in a month ingest stops and the platform locks until the first day of the next month, so the monthly ingest is a hard ceiling rather than a billing threshold.
- interface detail: NerdGraph, a GraphQL API at https://api.newrelic.com/graphql (US), https://api.eu.newrelic.com/graphql (EU) or https://api.jp.newrelic.com/graphql (JP), with a user key in the API-Key header. It answered 401 without a key.
- endpoint: part of interface detail
- tooling: curl or any GraphQL client with a user key
- composes with: One account holds APM traces, logs, infrastructure metrics and 500 synthetic checks for a set of free compute services, up to 100 GB of ingest a month.
- reliability: Data ingest stops and platform access is lost after 100 GB in a month until the first day of the next month or an upgrade.
- notes: The free tier is a hard stop, not a billing threshold: past 100 GB in a month nothing more is ingested and the platform is locked until the month turns, unless a card is added.
- evidence note: Every limit is quoted from a first-party page, and the NerdGraph endpoint answered 401 without a key. No account was opened; an authenticated NerdGraph query from a free account would move it to measured.
