Question 1

How much does it cost to replace New Relic?

Accepted Answer

A custom devops & engineering tool to replace New Relic costs $40,000–$70,000 as a one-time build fee. That compares to $14,700/year for New Relic at 25 seats. Over 3 years, you save approximately $-31,240 (-64%).

Question 2

How long does it take to build a New Relic replacement?

Accepted Answer

A custom New Relic replacement typically takes 10-16 weeks to build and deploy. This is a Platform Build project. We handle architecture, development, testing, deployment, and data migration from New Relic.

Question 3

Is a custom-built devops & engineering tool as good as New Relic?

Accepted Answer

Better for your needs — because it's built specifically for your workflow. Most teams use under 20% of New Relic's features but pay for 100%. We build the features you actually use, optimized for how your team works, without the bloat or per-seat pricing.

Question 4

What happens to my data when I leave New Relic?

Accepted Answer

We handle the complete data migration from New Relic to your new custom tool. Your data moves to your own database on your infrastructure. You maintain full ownership and control — no vendor lock-in, no data hostage situations.

Question 5

Who maintains the custom devops & engineering tool after it's built?

Accepted Answer

You have two options: our maintenance retainer ($500–$3,000/month depending on complexity) covers ongoing support, updates, and monitoring. Or your team maintains it — you own the full source code and documentation. Most clients start with our retainer.
