OpenTelemetry-native observability

Proprietary observability platform

Simple Pricing

Dash0 offers transparent pricing based on data points sent, not bytes or users, ensuring cost predictability with no hidden fees.

Complex Pricing

New Relic's pricing quickly grows complex - charging separately for ingest, retention, user roles and EU data storage, on top of a tiered pricing model.

Easy To Use

Dash0’s intuitive, minimalist UI streamlines observability with smart color cues, keyboard navigation, and effortless querying - no PromQL required.

Complex UI Requires Extensive Training

New Relic’s UI is powerful but cluttered and complex. Navigating dashboards, entities, and settings requires extensive training, and deeper insights typically depend on learning NRQL.

Open Standards

Dash0 embraces open standards like OpenTelemetry, Perses, and Prometheus, ensuring flexibility, interoperability, and future-proof observability - without vendor lock-in.

Easy In, Difficult Out

Despite surface-level support for open standards like OpenTelemetry and Prometheus, New Relic remains deeply dependent on its proprietary query language, visualization tools, and storage.

Full Resource-based Context & Navigation

Dash0’s resource-centric approach seamlessly correlates logs, spans, and metrics using semantic conventions, enabling one-click navigation for effortless troubleshooting.

Manual Signal Correlation

Logs, metrics, and traces can be correlated, but only if custom tagging and New Relic agents are implemented consistently - making context navigation fragile and config-heavy.

Telemetry Spam Filter

Dash0’s telemetry spam filter lets users easily drop noisy telemetry singnals in just two clicks - no complex setup, no queries required.

Manual Telemetry Filtering

New Relic requires setting up custom pipeline rules for specific metrics, logs and traces based on NRQL to control excessive data collection.

Pay For What You Use

In Dash0 you only pay for the telemetry data you actually use, after filtering with spam filter.

Pay For What You Ingest

With New Relic you have to pay for all ingested data, regardless of applied filtering mechanisms within New Relic.

Triage & Root Cause Analysis

Dash0’s automated telemetry comparison quickly identifies bottlenecks and anomalies, accelerating root cause analysis and reducing MTTR.

Config-heavy Root Cause Analysis

New Relic’s root-cause analysis can be effective, but it relies heavily on high-precision tagging and manual pre-configuration.
