Before you choose
Check platform support
Match the tool to your setup before you choose. Listed options run on Linux, macOS, Windows, through an API, as self-hosted software or on the web.
If your workflow spans more than one environment, check the maker's listed platform support for the tool you are considering.
Compare the pricing path
Pricing models on this list include free, freemium and paid plans. Some makers publish a price, while others ask you to request pricing.
Read the pricing note to see whether a free plan is available and whether paid access uses monthly or annual billing.
Use a trial when offered
Free trials are available for some tools, with listed periods of seven or 14 days. A trial gives you time to review the tool before a paid commitment.
Check the trial terms and any billing change that follows it.
Choose the access style
Web access can suit browser-based work, while an API can connect metrics to another system. Self-hosted software keeps deployment within your own environment.
Compare these access styles with your project's setup and operating system.
