Plans & quotas
Limits are per tenant. Usage against them is on the Account → Plan & usage screen in the app and at GET /v1/tenants/{tid}/plan.
Pingtower is free during preview, with no credit card. Every new account starts on the Free tier, and its limits are the numbers the server enforces.
| Limit | Free | Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Projects per tenant | 5 | 100 |
| Alerts retained | 1,000 | 50,000 |
| Log rows retained | 50,000 | 2,000,000 |
| Ingest rate | 20 events/s, burst 40 | 200 events/s, burst 400 |
| API rate | 10 req/s, burst 20 | 100 req/s, burst 200 |
Pro and Enterprise exist today and are granted by email; there is no checkout. Enterprise is custom limits set to fit your stream. The pricing page says how paid plans will arrive when they do.

What a cap does
A quota can cost you history, never an alertPast the log cap the tower stops retaining rows, but every event is still evaluated and alerting continues. Past a rate you get
429 with a Retry-After header, and the addons agent spools and retries on its own.Self-hosted tenants
A tenant whose data plane is your own box has no plan. Your box enforces whatever limits you configure with its flags, and pingtower.com meters nothing about it. The app’s Plan & usage screen says so instead of rendering a ceiling nobody enforces.
