Grafana shifts AI billing to tokens, adds $2/1M overage pricing
What happened
Between the Jun 1, 2026 and Jun 8, 2026 captures of Grafana's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Grafana Assistant billing switched from messages to tokens. Pro includes 40M tokens/user/mo (was 2,000 messages); Free gets 40M tokens + 25M service account tokens/mo; new $2/1M tokens overage pricing. Pulse files it as a packaging change (metric change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Aug 17, 2026) lists Pro at $19.
It lands 35 days after Grafana's previous change, "Grafana boosts free Assistant AI quota 40x to 200 messages per month" (May 4, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Grafana rewords Pro plan host hour limits as included allocations" (Apr 13, 2026) and "Grafana Splits Log Pricing Into Three Stages, Cuts Kubernetes Costs 33%" (Apr 3, 2026). Grafana has been tracked since 2023-11-14.
In the same window Datadog, New Relic and Dynatrace also changed their Data & Analytics pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
