description: >-
  Axiom prices its observability platform around the volume of data loaded
  (ingested) into datasets, query compute, and stored data rather than around
  API call counts - the REST API itself carries no separate fee. As of 2026
  Axiom offers a Personal tier that is "always free" with a bounded monthly
  allowance (roughly 500 GB data loaded/month, ~10 GB-hours of query compute,
  ~25 GB storage), a paid Team tier that starts low (around $25/month for the
  first terabyte of data loaded) and scales usage-based, and a custom Enterprise
  tier. Axiom's updated usage-based model bills data loading in credits per GB
  (starting around 0.12 credits/GB and dropping toward ~0.09 credits/GB at high
  volume) plus query compute, with automatic volume discounts.
notes: >-
  Axiom moved from tier-based to usage-based pricing in its 2026 pricing update;
  exact GB allowances, credit rates, and query-compute pricing shift over time.
  Verify current numbers on the Axiom pricing page during reconciliation. The
  API and MCP server are available across tiers; billing is driven by ingest
  volume, query compute, and storage - not by API request counts.

    Free-forever tier for individuals and small projects, with a bounded monthly
    allowance of data loaded, query compute, and storage. Full access to
    ingest, APL query, datasets, dashboards, monitors, and the REST API within
    the allowance.
