Who reads this — honestly
O11y Watch is new. We launched in October 2026 and we won’t quote subscriber or traffic numbers until we can show real ones; ask and we’ll send current figures, unrounded. That’s why the first 5 sponsors get founding rates (about half price), locked for 3 months.
What we can say: the site tracks 73 vendors with 70 plans verified by hand from pricing pages, a public change log, and a free JSON API used by people and AI agents. Readers are developers and engineering leads evaluating tooling — usually with a purchase decision close.
Why they’re here: every page on the site is a buying-decision page — free tier limits, gotchas, paid entry prices and side-by-side comparisons. Top entry points are vendor pages (73), category “best free” pages and the compare tool.
Not a fit: vendors who want to change what we say about their pricing. Sponsors can’t buy changes to data, rankings or takes.
