New Relic is a full-stack observability platform. BunnyLogs focuses on real-time streaming and multi-channel log ingestion without an agent or seat fees.
New Relic's 100 GB/month free tier sounds generous, but logs alone typically consume 20–100+ GB/month, and the free tier covers only one user. A team of five developers would pay ~$200/month in seats alone before logging a single byte over the limit. BunnyLogs has no seat fees, no agent, and includes 30-day log search on every plan.
New Relic charges $49–$549 per full platform user per month. A team of 5 developers costs ~$200/month in seats alone, before any data overage. BunnyLogs has no per-user pricing — invite your whole team for free.
Share a log stream URL with anyone — no New Relic account needed. New Relic requires every viewer to sign in, and 'basic users' (free) are read-only and cannot create alerts or dashboards.
BunnyLogs stores all data exclusively in the EU by default. New Relic's EU region requires creating your account specifically at eu.newrelic.com — standard accounts default to US infrastructure.

New Relic Logs is the log management component of New Relic One — a full-stack observability platform covering application performance monitoring (APM), browser monitoring, mobile, infrastructure metrics, distributed tracing, and logs in a single product. If you are already running New Relic agents to track error rates and response times, keeping logs in the same platform means you can jump from a slow trace directly to the related log lines without switching tools.
The 100 GB/month free ingest figure is eye-catching, but logs are typically the largest consumer of that quota — a medium-traffic application alone can generate 20–100+ GB of logs per month, and New Relic's default configuration forwards <em>all</em> logs, so the free tier fills up faster than most teams expect. Beyond ingest, the free tier retains logs for only 8 days; extended retention (30, 60, or 90 days) costs extra. Critically, the free tier covers only a single full platform user — anyone else on the team who needs to create dashboards or configure alerts requires a paid seat at $49–$549 per user per month. 'Basic users' are technically unlimited and free, but they are read-only: they cannot create alerts, dashboards, or change any configuration.
BunnyLogs is purpose-built for the moment you want to <em>watch</em> logs happen: open a logspace in a browser tab, deploy a change, and see every log line arrive in under a second over WebSocket. There are no seat fees — your entire team can view, search, and share streams at no extra cost. There is no agent to configure, no $0.30/GB overage bill, and 30-day searchable history is included on every plan. For teams that also need email or messaging-app ingestion — legacy cron jobs, IoT devices, mobile push notifications — BunnyLogs accepts those sources natively while New Relic does not.
The free tier covers one full platform user. Each additional full platform user costs $49/month on the Standard plan. A team of five would pay around $196/month in seats alone ($49 × 4 additional users), plus $0.30/GB for any log ingest over 100 GB. With logs routinely consuming 20–100+ GB per app per month, that overage adds up quickly.
Basic users are free and unlimited, but they are read-only. They can view dashboards and data that full platform users have set up, but they cannot create alerts, dashboards, or configure any part of the platform. Anyone who needs to act on logs — set up an alert, build a query, change a filter — needs a paid full platform user seat.
Often not. New Relic's default agent configuration forwards all logs — application logs, infrastructure logs, APM traces, browser data, and metrics all count toward the 100 GB. Log data alone for a medium-traffic application typically generates 20–100+ GB/month. Teams frequently exhaust the free ingest quota within the first week unless they actively configure sampling or filtering.
No. BunnyLogs is focused entirely on log ingestion and real-time streaming. If you need APM, error tracking, or distributed tracing, New Relic or Datadog cover those use cases well. BunnyLogs and New Relic are often used together — BunnyLogs for real-time streaming and sharing, New Relic for production APM.
BunnyLogs stores all data exclusively in EU data centres with no opt-in required. New Relic offers an EU region, but you must create your account at eu.newrelic.com from the start — accounts created at newrelic.com default to US infrastructure and cannot be migrated to the EU region afterwards.
It is deleted. New Relic's free tier retains log data for 8 days only; extended retention (30, 60, or 90 days) is a paid add-on. BunnyLogs includes 30-day searchable log history on all plans at no extra charge.
