Netdata FAQ
Common questions about Netdata, answered from independent, dated evidence.
What is Netdata?
Netdata provides real-time monitoring across infrastructure with per-second metric collection and machine learning-based anomaly detection. It supports containers, Kubernetes, and traditional servers, available as both cloud-hosted and self-deployed solutions. It is indexed under Observability Tools.
Is Netdata free?
Netdata offers a free tier, so you can start without paying. Paid plans start at $90 per year. Prices are published openly on the vendor's own pricing page. Pricing changes often, so verify at source before relying on it.
What platforms does Netdata support?
Netdata supports the web, Windows, macOS, Linux and a command-line interface. Platforms we have not confirmed are simply not listed here rather than ruled out.
Can Netdata be self-hosted?
Yes. Netdata can be deployed cloud / SaaS, hybrid, on-premise, air-gapped and self-hosted, so it does not have to run on the vendor's infrastructure.
What does Netdata integrate with?
We have confirmed 14 integrations for Netdata, including AWS, Azure, GCP, HashiCorp Vault, SNMP, NetFlow, sFlow and IPFIX, plus 6 more. This is what we could verify from public sources, so the vendor may support others we have not indexed.
What security certifications does Netdata have?
We have independently confirmed SOC 2 and ISO 27001 for Netdata. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as Netdata not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence
Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for Netdata, not the verdict.
