Sasquatch vs New Relic

Your team grows.
Your bill doesn't.

Cut compute and storage by more than 80% — losslessly, in the cloud you already own.

New Relic meters your data and every full-platform user seat — so onboarding an engineer raises your observability bill before they ship a line of code. With Sasquatch, users are unlimited and there is no seat tax, in the cloud you already own.

10 TB / month + 5 Pro full-platform users · annual list · every figure traces to a published rate.

And a fraction of the total New Relic bill — lossless, in the cloud you already own.

01Where the bill goes

One line item, not a meter stack.

The New Relic bill splits across a stack of separately metered line items. Sasquatch is one rate on the compressed bytes you keep — the same workload, a fraction of the footprint. Each block is a real line item; the length is its share.

02The meter stack

One meter. Two charged simultaneously.

The same workload, two monthly statements. One is a single line you can forecast to the byte; the other is a stack of meters, each on its own unit, re-negotiated at every renewal.

03The compression

10 TB in. 100 GB out.

The full bar is the raw workload. The fill is what actually survives to disk after each product compresses it — shorter is cheaper to store, forever.
