Compare Your Monitoring Costs
See how much you could save by switching from self-managed monitoring to Bleemeo's cloud platform.
Configure Your Setup
Past 200 servers, a per-server subscription is no longer the cheaper line on paper. What you buy is the time and the risk taken off your team — let’s look at your setup together.

How the estimate is calculated
The calculator puts two totals side by side over the same period: running the monitoring stack yourself, and a Bleemeo subscription for the same servers. Every assumption it makes is listed here, so you can swap ours for your own figures.
Engineering time
Every day of work is valued at €450. Installing the stack takes 9 days plus 0.1 day per monitored server — 6 more with Kubernetes, 4 more with containers — and is redone with each hardware generation. Keeping it running takes 12 days a year plus 0.1 day per server, and the same Kubernetes or container increment. Project management adds 2 days plus 0.01 day per server, and documentation 1 day per generation.
Cloud infrastructure
A pair of EC2 instances for high availability, running around the clock, priced from an m5.xlarge and doubling at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 servers. Storage is EBS at €0.11 per GB and month: 6 GB per monitored server on each instance for Prometheus, 10 GB in total for the other tools.
On-premise hardware
Two Dell PowerEdge R340 servers for high availability, €3,500 to €4,800 each depending on the fleet size, replaced every 3 years. Each generation needs 1 day of racking and setup, repairs take 5 days a year, and power and cooling cost €35 and €35 per server and month.
Alerting
Self-managed alerting is counted as SMS, whose cost grows with the fleet: €50 × (1 + ln(servers)) a year. The Bleemeo mobile app sends push notifications instead, so that line is zero on its side.
Bleemeo
The subscription and nothing else: €10.99 per server and month on the Professional plan, whichever tool you compare with. A reserved-capacity commitment of 12, 24 or 36 months takes 10, 15 or 20% off, and the calculator shows that price too. There is no infrastructure line, because there is nothing to host.
It is an order of magnitude, not a quote. Your own day rate, cloud discounts, hardware you already own or the time it takes to roll the agent out all change the result — each line of the breakdown shows its formula, so you can redo it with your figures.
