Pricing FAQ
What is a transaction?
A transaction is a single web request or background job execution that Scout traces. Each traced request or job counts as one transaction.
What is the overhead of the agent?
Scout's agent is designed to have minimal performance impact on your application. Typical overhead is less than 1-3% depending on your configuration.
What type of support is available?
Every plan includes real human support. Paid plans get priority response times, and Enterprise plans include dedicated premier support.
Not sure how much volume your app needs?
No problem. Every new account starts with a 14-day free trial that includes unlimited performance data. Use that window to understand your actual transaction volume, then pick the plan that fits. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time.
How do you install Scout?
Scout is installed as a gem or package for your framework. Setup takes just a few minutes with our documentation and integrates seamlessly with Rails, Django, and other popular frameworks. Scout is also available as a Heroku Add-on, through the AWS Marketplace, and on the DigitalOcean Marketplace.
How does Scout compare to other monitoring tools?
Scout provides integrated errors, logs, and traces in one tool for Ruby, Python, PHP, and Elixir applications. Pricing is based on transaction tiers with no seat licenses or per-host fees. Every plan includes unlimited users and applications.
What happens when the transaction rate limit is exceeded on your selected plan?
When you exceed your plan's monthly transaction limit, we continue monitoring your application but stop recording new transactions in the dashboard. You can upgrade your plan anytime to increase your limit.
Do I need to sign a contract?
No. Our plans are month-to-month with no long-term commitment. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time, and changes take effect immediately with prorated billing.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express) and can arrange wire transfer or invoice billing for Enterprise customers.
Is Scout available on Heroku, AWS, or DigitalOcean?
Yes. Scout is available as a Heroku Add-on, on the AWS Marketplace, and on the DigitalOcean Marketplace. All three let you consolidate monitoring billing with your hosting account.
