Pros
Cons
Gotchas
- highMedian contract is $60,000/year (Vendr); entry pricing won't reflect your real bill at scale.³
- mediumFree tier caps at 25,000 spans/month — production traffic exceeds that fast.²
- mediumSpan-based usage pricing makes monthly costs hard to predict.⁸
- lowCompetitor-run comparison sites criticize fit and pricing; read skeptically.⁷
