Grafana rewords Pro plan host hour limits as included allocations
What happened
Between the Apr 6, 2026 and Apr 13, 2026 captures of Grafana's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Pro plan host hour allocations reworded from 'Limited to' to 'Includes' across Kubernetes Monitoring, Application Observability, and Database Observability sections. Quantities unchanged. Pulse files it as a product change (positioning) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Aug 17, 2026) lists Pro at $19.
It lands 10 days after Grafana's previous change, "Grafana Splits Log Pricing Into Three Stages, Cuts Kubernetes Costs 33%" (Apr 3, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "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, New Relic, Dynatrace and Elastic also changed their Data & Analytics pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
