MetricFire review
A hosted Graphite and Grafana monitoring stack with broad integrations and tiered capacity.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Sep 2026
MetricFire is a managed monitoring platform built around Graphite and Grafana. It collects, stores, visualizes, and alerts on infrastructure, application, and cloud-service metrics without requiring teams to operate their own monitoring stack. The platform is aimed at engineering and operations teams that want hosted dashboards, retention, alerting, integrations, and technical support, with web and API access.
Pricing is organized around capacity and team requirements. Intro costs $19 per month when billed monthly, or $16 per month on annual billing, and includes 500 metrics, six-month retention, 30-second resolution, 2 team users, 10 alerts, and unlimited dashboards. Basic costs $99 monthly or $84 per month on annual billing, increasing capacity to 1,000 metrics with two-year retention, unlimited users, unlimited alerts, and unlimited dashboards. Core costs $499 monthly or $429 per month on annual billing, with 5,000 metrics and the same two-year retention, unlimited users, unlimited alerts, and unlimited dashboards. A 14-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan.
The platform fits environments that already value Graphite and Grafana, while its ecosystem extends to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, DigitalOcean, Oracle Cloud, Heroku, Kubernetes, Docker, Prometheus, Loki, OpenTelemetry, Slack, PagerDuty, Microsoft Teams, and Grafana. MetricFire also supports hosted Loki logging, SAML single sign-on, multi-resolution retention and aggregation, and an MCP server for Hosted Graphite APIs. Choose it when managed Graphite and Grafana are central to your monitoring approach. Teams seeking a free tier, or those that need more than the Intro plan's listed limits without moving to higher pricing, should evaluate alternatives.
