It’s that time of the year when you look over your 2025 spend, see a giant observability bill, and realize the tooling now costs more than the infrastructure it monitors.
You are paying steep prices for standard telemetry while getting penalized for every new host, user, and custom metric which often forces a decision between full visibility and staying within budget.
At Dash0, we’re willing to bet $10,000 that you’re currently overpaying by at least 50%.
This is why we’re introducing Kill the Bill, a challenge designed to show you exactly how much of your budget is being wasted on a legacy tax that adds zero value to your business.
The $10,000 guarantee
The challenge is simple: We’re confident we can cut your observability costs by 50% or more without dropping data or reducing visibility.
You don’t need to take our word for it. We’re putting money where our mouth is.
We only need two things: your current data volume and your latest observability invoice.
If we cannot demonstrate at least 50% cost savings against your current provider for the same telemetry volume, Dash0 will donate $10,000 to a global children’s charity.
Who this is for
This challenge is designed for companies headquartered in North America or Europe that are feeling the squeeze from legacy observability vendors.
If your annual observability bill is $50,000 or more, you’re exactly the kind of organization this challenge is built for.
How to join the challenge
First, sign up for the challenge to receive an invitation. Once accepted, simply share a recent invoice from your current observability provider.
We’ll calculate what the same telemetry volume would cost with Dash0. If we can cut your bill by 50% or more, you’ll see exactly where the savings come from.
But if we don’t reach that threshold, you’ll walk away knowing your pricing is already competitive, and we will donate $10,000 to a children’s charity.
So you either save a significant amount of money, or you help a meaningful cause!
Why we’re doing this
We believe observability has become far more expensive than it should be. Much of the cost comes from spammy telemetry, proprietary data formats, and vendor-controlled pipelines.
Legacy providers have created closed ecosystems that lock you in. Once they own your data formats and ingest paths, they also control the price. The result is a billing model that grows faster than your actual infrastructure.
We want to show that observability does not need to be tied to this old model. When you eliminate proprietary constraints and simplify the pipeline, the cost drops dramatically without losing reliability or depth of insight.
Are you ready to Kill the Bill?
If you’re heading into the new year looking for ways to reclaim budget without sacrificing visibility, this is the simplest and most transparent way to find out.
You either discover a far more cost-effective path forward, or a charity receives a major donation. That’s a win no matter what.
