Grafana: New Database Observability product + Assistant moves to token-based pricing

Between the Mar 30, 2026 and Jun 29, 2026 captures of Grafana's pricing page, Pulse recorded 2 changes: New Database Observability product added (Free 2,232 host hrs, Pro $0.07/host hr, Enterprise $25k/yr min). Grafana Assistant Free/Pro usage quota switched from messages (5/2,000 per mo) to tokens (40M/user/mo + 25M/mo service-account allowance), plus new $2/1M token overage rate. In detail: New 'Database Observability' product added to the pricing page, with its own Free (2,232 host hours), Pro ($0.07/host hour, ~$51/host), and Enterprise ($25,000/yr min commit) tiers; Grafana Assistant's Free and Pro tier usage allowance changed from a message-based quota to a token-based quota: Free tier 5 msgs/user/mo -> 40M tokens/user/mo, Pro tier 2,000 msgs/user/mo -> 40M tokens/user/mo, plus a new 25M tokens/month service-account allowance. Pulse files it as a packaging change (feature added, metric change). Pulse's latest capture (Nov 9, 2026) lists Pro at $19.

This quarterly roll-up includes 3 changes Pulse first recorded in a shorter period: "Grafana shifts AI billing to tokens, adds $2/1M overage pricing" (week of Jun 1, 2026, saved Jun 8, 2026), "Grafana boosts free Assistant AI quota 40x to 200 messages per month" (week of Apr 27, 2026, saved May 4, 2026) and "Grafana rewords Pro plan host hour limits as included allocations" (week of Apr 6, 2026, saved Apr 13, 2026). It also records changes none of those periods did (feature added), so Pulse counts it as a change of its own. Before that, Grafana's previous recorded change was "Grafana splits observability pricing into Process/Write/Retain model" (Feb 23, 2026). Grafana has been tracked since 2023-11-14.

In the same window Datadog, Dynatrace and New Relic also changed their Data & Analytics pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
