Loggly (a SolarWinds product) is one of the oldest hosted log management services. BunnyLogs offers modern WebSocket streaming and broader ingestion options at a fraction of the cost.
Loggly pioneered cloud log management but its pricing has aged poorly — $79/month for 1 GB/day with limited ingestion channels. BunnyLogs provides true WebSocket streaming, email and messaging ingestion, and EU-native hosting at a fraction of the cost.
Loggly's cheapest paid plan costs $79/month for 1 GB/day ingest. BunnyLogs charges €5 per started GB with no monthly minimum — ideal for projects that don't need enterprise-scale volume.
Loggly requires a logging agent or HTTP library. BunnyLogs accepts raw email, WhatsApp, and Telegram — no library changes required. Centralise cron output, Nagios alerts, and mobile notifications without touching your app code.
BunnyLogs stores all data exclusively in the EU. Loggly is a US-hosted SolarWinds product with no EU data residency option — a problem for GDPR-regulated workloads.

Loggly was one of the first cloud-hosted log management platforms and has a loyal user base built over 15+ years. It handles syslog, token-based HTTP ingestion, and has a familiar search UI. For teams already invested in its saved searches and dashboards, migration friction is real.
The problem is Loggly's <strong>pricing model</strong>. The entry paid plan starts at $79/month for a single user and 1 GB/day ingest — there is no permanent free tier. If you exceed the daily limit, logs are dropped, not queued. Teams on that plan paying $948/year are often getting 1–5% of the capability that BunnyLogs offers for the same budget.
BunnyLogs takes a different approach: pay-as-you-go at €5 per started gigabyte, with no monthly minimum and no seat fees. A project that sends 200 MB of logs per month pays nothing — it falls within the free 100 KB tier (or close to it). A project sending 2 GB/month pays €10. The same 2 GB/month on Loggly's cheapest plan costs $79 whether you use it or not.
Beyond pricing, BunnyLogs adds ingestion channels Loggly never supported: raw email, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Discord. These let you centralise cron output, monitoring alerts, and mobile notifications without installing an agent or modifying your application's logging library. Loggly's streaming is also polling-based; BunnyLogs streams log lines to your browser via WebSocket in under one second.
Yes. BunnyLogs has a permanent free tier at 100 KB/month — no credit card and no trial expiry. Loggly's free offering is a time-limited trial only. For low-volume side projects and experimentation, BunnyLogs is the clear choice.
Loggly's cheapest paid plan ('Lite') starts at $79/month for one user and 1 GB/day ingest with 7 days of search retention. The 'Standard' plan at $199/month adds more users and longer retention. There is no permanent free plan — only a 14-day trial.
BunnyLogs accepts syslog via its Linux Syslog integration, which forwards entries to BunnyLogs over HTTP using a small rsyslog or syslog-ng output plugin. It does not accept raw UDP syslog packets directly. For direct syslog UDP/TCP ingestion, Loggly or Papertrail remain stronger options.
Yes. BunnyLogs stores all data exclusively in EU data centres. Loggly is operated by SolarWinds, a US company with no EU data residency option, which creates compliance complications for teams subject to GDPR.
BunnyLogs uses Elasticsearch under the hood and supports full-text search with field filters (level, program, message). There is no import tool for Loggly saved searches, but most common queries translate naturally to BunnyLogs search syntax.
