Honeycomb is introducing a new generation of self-serve Pro pricing.
This page answers common questions about what is changing and what it means for your existing plan.
What is changing?
Starting July 1, 2026, Honeycomb is updating Pro plan pricing to include access to Time Series Metrics and AI-powered features included in Honeycomb Intelligence, like Canvas and the Honeycomb MCP.
The new per-event rate is $3.00 per million events, compared to $1.30 per million events on legacy plans.
The tier structure is also changing, from three tiers to four, topping out at 750M events per month.
To explore the new tiers, visit Honeycomb Pricing.
Other entitlements, like Triggers, Service Level Objectives (SLOs), and support tier, stay the same regardless of which plan you are on.
Similarly, usage is still measured in events per month and datapoints per month and data retention periods remain the same.
Why is pricing changing on Pro plans?
In the last year, Honeycomb has introduced several powerful features, such as Time Series Metrics, Canvas, and the Honeycomb MCP.
Our Enterprise clients are already leveraging these tools to achieve greater value through accelerated onboarding, improved incident response times, and enhanced visibility into production AI agents.
To ensure even more users can take advantage of these capabilities, we are extending them to our Pro customers.
You can learn more about the new features we have released on the Honeycomb Blog.
Pricing is being adjusted to reflect the inclusion of these features and the rollout of new tiers designed to better align with customer events and usage requirements.
What about Honeycomb for Builders? How will this change the Pro1500 discounts and usage?
The Honeycomb for Builders program discounts will not change for those already enrolled.
For new members of the program, the Pro discounts will cover Pro750 to align to the new pricing tiers.
Do I need to do anything right now?
Not right away.
You can stay on your current Pro plan during the grace period, which ends on December 31, 2026, and nothing changes until then.
Your billing page shows a (Legacy) label, so you know which generation of plan you are on.
If you want to lock in savings now, though, you can commit to an annual term on your current legacy tier during the grace period and you will get a full year at your legacy rate plus a 20% increase, which costs less than switching to a new tier outright.
To learn more, refer to Can I keep legacy pricing for longer?.
The grace period is a good opportunity to re-evaluate your telemetry needs.
If you are currently sending metrics as events, moving that telemetry to time series metrics frees up meaningful event headroom, since metrics data points bill separately from events.
This shift can affect which 2026 tier actually fits your usage.
What happens if I don’t take any action?
If you haven’t chosen a new plan by the time the grace period ends, Honeycomb moves your team to the 2026 Pro tier that most closely matches your current legacy tier.
This happens automatically at your next billing boundary.
The 2026 Pro tier plan chosen is based on the plan you are on, not your real consumption.
If you have seen overage notices or throttling, it is worth choosing your tier proactively rather than waiting for the automatic move.
Can I keep legacy pricing for longer?
If you commit to an annual term on your current legacy tier during the grace period, you can keep legacy pricing for that full annual term, up to one year, at a 20% increase over your legacy rate.
When the legacy renewal term ends, you move to current 2026 pricing and tiers, either monthly or annually.
However, the grace period is a good opportunity to re-evaluate your telemetry needs.
If you are currently sending metrics as events, moving that telemetry to time series metrics frees up meaningful event headroom, since metrics data points bill separately from events.
That shift can change which 2026 tier actually fits your usage, so it is worth choosing your plan rather than relying on automatic migration.

What if my Team is on an annual plan with time left on it?
You keep your current plan until your plan renews, at which point Honeycomb automatically moves your team to the 2026 Pro tier that corresponds to your current legacy tier.
