LogicMonitor is priced per Hybrid Unit per month. The published list prices are $16 per Hybrid Unit on Essentials, $27 on Advanced and $53 on Signature + Edwin AI. One Hybrid Unit covers one collector-monitored device (a server, VM, switch, router or firewall), one cloud IaaS instance, seven cloud PaaS resources or five wireless access points. A 49-unit estate therefore lists at $784 a month on Essentials, $1,323 on Advanced and $2,597 on Signature, before any negotiated discount.
Every figure below was read from logicmonitor.com/pricing and LogicMonitor's own support article on Hybrid Resource Unit billing. Prices are US dollars. LogicMonitor labels them "starting monthly list pricing based on standard minimum quantities and terms", and it does not publish what those minimums are, so treat each number as the list rate a quote starts from. The arithmetic is ours and every step is shown.
The three LogicMonitor platform packages for 2026
LogicMonitor replaced its older product-by-product price list with three platform packages. All three use the same unit, so the only thing that changes between them is the rate and what is bundled in. There is a 15-day free trial of any package.
| Package | List price | Per year, per unit | Price multiple vs Essentials | Size limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essentials | $16 per Hybrid Unit a month | $192 | 1.00x | Up to 999 Hybrid Units |
| Advanced | $27 per Hybrid Unit a month | $324 | 1.69x | None published |
| Signature + Edwin AI | $53 per Hybrid Unit a month | $636 | 3.31x | None published |
All three include the core of the product: hybrid infrastructure monitoring through LogicMonitor collectors, LM Logs, automated discovery, topology, config monitoring, NetFlow, dashboards and reporting, dynamic thresholds, anomaly detection, SMS alerting, remote sessions and a sandbox portal of up to 10% of paid capacity. Basic support is included, with Enhanced and Premier support available as upgrades.
What each LogicMonitor package adds
The packages differ in which modules come bundled and which are sold as add-ons. This is the part of the rate card that decides whether the jump from $16 to $27 is worth it, so here it is line by line, exactly as LogicMonitor's comparison table marks it.
| Module | Essentials ($16) | Advanced ($27) | Signature ($53) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hybrid infrastructure monitoring, LM Logs | Included | Included | Included |
| LM Uptime (website and endpoint checks) | Add-on | Included | Included |
| Dynamic Service Insights | Add-on | Included | Included |
| Automated diagnostics and remediation | Add-on | Included | Included |
| Data Publisher | Add-on | Included | Included |
| SaaS monitoring, cost optimization, ServiceNow CMDB | Add-on | Add-on | Included |
| Edwin AI event intelligence | Not available | Add-on | Included |
| Edwin AI agents and AI automation | Not available | Add-on | Add-on |
| LM Synthetics, real user monitoring, endpoint monitoring | Add-on | Add-on | Add-on |
Two things stand out. First, the Catchpoint-derived products (LM Synthetics and Internet Performance, real user monitoring with session replay, and endpoint monitoring) are outside every package. You buy them separately whichever tier you are on, and LogicMonitor publishes no price for them. Second, add-on prices are not published either, so the only fully priced configurations are the three bundles as they stand. If you are a Catchpoint customer weighing the renewal, our Catchpoint alternative and Catchpoint pricing page covers what changed after the acquisition.
How the LogicMonitor pricing model counts a Hybrid Unit
A Hybrid Unit is a normalizing unit. LogicMonitor converts each resource type into units using fixed ratios, then bills on the monthly average of the daily total.
| Resource type | Resources per Hybrid Unit | Essentials, per resource | Advanced, per resource | Signature, per resource |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Collector device: server, VM, firewall, router, switch | 1 | $16.00 | $27.00 | $53.00 |
| Cloud IaaS instance: EC2, Azure VM, Compute Engine | 1 | $16.00 | $27.00 | $53.00 |
| Cloud PaaS resource: Kubernetes pod, serverless service | 7 | $2.29 | $3.86 | $7.57 |
| Wireless access point: Meraki, Aruba | 5 | $3.20 | $5.40 | $10.60 |
Because billing uses the monthly average of daily totals, resources you add halfway through a month only count for the days they exist. An estate that runs at 100 units for the first 15 days of a 30-day month and 140 units for the last 15 is billed on 120. That is friendlier than a peak-based meter, and it matters for autoscaling groups. A switch is one device whatever its port count, which is the opposite of a per-sensor product like PRTG, where every port is billed; our PRTG pricing breakdown shows how fast that adds up.
There is no official LogicMonitor pricing calculator. The table above is the calculator: count your devices and cloud instances, divide PaaS resources by seven and access points by five, add them up and multiply by the package rate.
What real estates pay in three worked bills
A 30-server office with a small network
30 servers and VMs, 15 switches, routers and firewalls, and 20 wireless access points. That is 30 + 15 + 4 = 49 Hybrid Units. At list price the bill is $784 a month ($9,408 a year) on Essentials, $1,323 a month ($15,876) on Advanced and $2,597 a month ($31,164) on Signature.
A cloud-native team on AWS
40 EC2 instances and 350 Kubernetes pods and serverless services. The pods normalize to 50 units, so the total is 90. That lists at $1,440 a month ($17,280 a year) on Essentials, $2,430 ($29,160) on Advanced and $4,770 ($57,240) on Signature. The seven-to-one PaaS ratio is what keeps this bill sane: at one unit per pod it would be more than four times higher.
The 1,000th unit
Essentials is capped at 999 Hybrid Units. At 999 units it lists at $15,984 a month. The 1,000th unit forces a move to Advanced, which lists at $27,000 a month for 1,000 units. On list prices, crossing that line adds $11,016 a month, a 69% jump for one extra device. Negotiated discounts will soften both numbers, but if your estate sits in the high 900s, plan the package decision before a growth spurt makes it for you.
LogicMonitor logs pricing and Edwin AI pricing
LM Logs is marked as included in all three packages. LogicMonitor also says each package carries "defined capacity, limits, and retention", with more capacity available as an add-on, and it does not publish those log limits. So the honest answer to "how much do LogicMonitor logs cost" is: nothing extra up to your package's allowance, and a quoted rate past it. Ask for the ingest and retention allowance in writing.
Edwin AI is priced the same way. Event intelligence is included only in Signature, the $53 package, and is an add-on on Advanced. The AI agents and AI automation modules are add-ons even on Signature, and Essentials cannot buy any of them. If you plan to let an AI agent run remediation actions against production, budget for the guardrails around its tool access as well as for the license.
Is LogicMonitor worth the price?
For a team that has to watch on-prem servers, switches, firewalls, wireless and cloud accounts in one place, LogicMonitor's per-unit model is easy to budget and the Essentials rate is competitive with per-host SaaS pricing. Our LogicMonitor vs Datadog comparison runs the same estates through both rate cards, and the LogicMonitor vs Dynatrace comparison shows where per-GiB billing overtakes a flat unit. Against New Relic, which bills per engineer and per GB instead of per device, see LogicMonitor vs New Relic; against SolarWinds, which counts three standalone VMs as one node, see LogicMonitor vs SolarWinds pricing, and for the whole field on one estate, LogicMonitor competitors priced.
It is a poor buy for one specific job: checking that public websites and APIs are up. LM Uptime is an add-on on Essentials and only comes bundled from Advanced. Moving the 49-unit office above from Essentials to Advanced to get it costs an extra $11 per unit, $539 a month or $6,468 a year. LM Uptime runs web checks from five LogicMonitor checkpoints, which is useful, but if external checks are the reason for the upgrade, a dedicated uptime service does that job for far less.
LogicMonitor pricing against a dedicated uptime monitor
AlertPing does one part of what LogicMonitor does: outside-in checks of websites, APIs, TCP ports, SSL certificates and cron heartbeats from two regions, with SMS, email, Slack and webhook alerts on every plan. Starter is $49 a month for 20 monitors checked every 60 seconds. Team is $59 a month for 100 monitors at 30-second checks, with escalation chains and five status pages.
| Job | LogicMonitor | AlertPing |
|---|---|---|
| Servers, switches, firewalls, wireless via SNMP and WMI | Yes, from $16 per unit | Not offered |
| Logs, NetFlow, config change tracking | Yes, in every package | Not offered |
| External website and API checks | LM Uptime: add-on on Essentials, included from $27 per unit | Every plan, from $49 a month |
| Check locations | Five LogicMonitor checkpoints, plus internal checks from collectors | Two regions, US East and EU Central, both confirm before an alert |
| Public status page | Not listed in the packages | Included, 1 on Starter, 5 on Team |
| Cost of the upgrade just for web checks, 49 units | $539 a month | $49 or $59 a month |
The sensible split for most mid-size teams is to keep LogicMonitor Essentials for the infrastructure and run external checks on a flat-priced service. Our uptime monitoring pricing comparison lays out fifteen vendors on the same basis, and outside-in server monitoring covers ping, port and heartbeat checks without an agent.
LogicMonitor pricing FAQ
How much does LogicMonitor cost?
LogicMonitor lists $16 per Hybrid Unit a month on Essentials, $27 on Advanced and $53 on Signature + Edwin AI. A Hybrid Unit is one server, VM, network device or cloud instance, seven cloud PaaS resources or five wireless access points. A 49-unit estate lists at $784 a month on Essentials. Minimum quantities apply and are set in the quote.
Why is LogicMonitor expensive?
Because every resource is billed as a Hybrid Unit every month, whatever you monitor on it. At $16 to $53 per unit, a 49-unit estate is $784 a month on Essentials and $2,597 on Signature, and the cheapest package leaves out LM Uptime. Minimum quantities and contract terms are set in the quote and not published, so a small estate cannot price itself from the list alone.
What is a LogicMonitor Hybrid Unit?
It is LogicMonitor's single licensing unit across resource types. One unit equals one collector-monitored device, one cloud IaaS instance, seven cloud PaaS resources such as Kubernetes pods or serverless services, or five wireless access points. Billing uses the monthly average of daily unit totals.
Does LogicMonitor have a free trial?
Yes. LogicMonitor offers a 15-day free trial of any platform package. There is no permanent free tier. After the trial you buy a package at the per-unit rate, with the minimum quantity and contract term set in your quote.
Is LM Uptime included in LogicMonitor Essentials?
No. LM Uptime, LogicMonitor's website and endpoint check module, is an add-on on Essentials and is included in Advanced and Signature. Its add-on price is not published. Upgrading from Essentials to Advanced to get it costs $11 more per Hybrid Unit per month at list price.
Does LogicMonitor offer discounts?
LogicMonitor's own FAQ says discounts are potentially available through your account team. Its list prices are described as starting prices based on standard minimum quantities and terms, so volume and contract length move the final rate. Get the minimum quantity and any true-up terms in writing.
