Free Tier Value
This free tier is genuinely usable for a small project: it includes monthly ingestion, searchable retention, one project, and two seats, and the page says no credit card is required. Compared with the cheapest paid plan at $25/month, the free offer is roughly one-fifth of that plan’s practical capacity, so about $5/month is a fair buyer-side value estimate.
