About
APItoolkit is an API observability and monitoring platform that collects logs, traces, metrics, request payloads, and events to help developers find breaking changes, errors, and performance regressions in production.
It supports unified logs and traces, custom metrics, dashboards, monitors, alerts, daily or weekly reports, anomaly detection, and AI-assisted querying. The platform integrates with OpenTelemetry and offers cloud, cloud-with-S3, and self-hosted deployment options, including a free community edition for self-hosted use.

Free Tier Value
The pricing page shows a free tier on Monoscope Cloud with a cap of 250M events, then the first paid Cloud plan is $29/month for up to 20M events plus $1 per 1M events after that. Using the conservative rule for a capped free tier, the free-tier value is anchored to the lowest paid plan that exceeds the cap, which is $29/month. The page also explicitly says 'No credit card required' for the startup program and offers a 30-day free trial, so no_cc_required is true and free_trial_duration_days is 30.

- Predictable usage-based pricing on the free tier.
