About
Middleware is a full-stack observability platform that collects infrastructure, APM, real user monitoring, logs, synthetic checks, browser tests, and LLM observability data in one place. The platform includes an AI SRE Agent for issue detection, root cause analysis, and automated fixes, along with dashboards, alerts, tracing, and log search.
The pricing page lists a 14-day free trial with unlimited data ingestion, unlimited RUM sessions, unlimited synthetic checks, 10 browser test runs, unlimited users, community support, and 14-day retention. After the trial, the pay-as-you-go plan charges $0.30 per GB of metrics, logs, and traces, with separate usage-based pricing for RUM sessions, synthetic checks, browser test runs, and OpsAI token usage.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is a 14-day trial, so its monthly-equivalent value is about 14/30 of the cheapest paid plan. Using the $0.30 per GB pay-as-you-go rate as the baseline, the trial is worth roughly $0.14/month on a recurring basis, but it is time-limited and not perpetual. A credit card is not explicitly waived on the page, and the trial includes broad feature access with only a few practical caps, so the feature parity is high even though the dollar value is low.
