There's a free plan; paid tiers are quoted.
Cribl’s Free plan supports up to 1TB/day, one worker group and 10 maximum worker processes, with Community Support. It is a usage-based plan, not an open-source license. Standard supports up to 5TB/day, while Enterprise lists unlimited TB/day. Cribl does not publish fixed cloud plan prices: cloud usage is invoiced monthly against an annual commitment. Credits, Workspace and Insights charges, and metered static egress can add to the bill.

04Is Cribl worth the money?
Cribl’s Free plan is a reasonable place to evaluate the platform if your workload fits its 1TB/day limit and single worker group. For production, compare the annual cloud commitment with actual volume, worker needs, retention and egress; cloud plan prices are not published. Self-managed licenses have published prices at some data volumes, but the cadence is unstated and higher Enterprise tiers require contacting sales. Ask Cribl for a complete quote before committing.
