Pricing Comparison

Edge Delta is priced per GB ingested (often after pipeline reduction). It does not include incident response or on-call. Nova bundles the whole reliability stack into one per-user line.

Nova AI Ops

One platformper-user pricing

Full platform: monitoring, incidents, AI agents, runbooks, on-call, logs, tracing, auto-remediation. Free tier available. See pricing.

Edge Delta

Per GBafter pipeline reduction

Edge processing reduces volume before ingest, but you still pay per GB and need separate tools for incident response, on-call, and status.

What your monthly bill looks like

Edge Delta is a strong observability + pipeline product. The rest of the SRE loop — incidents, on-call, status — still lives elsewhere. Nova folds them all in.

Where Edge Delta Excels

Edge Delta has carved out a real niche:

Edge processing, reduces ingest cost by transforming telemetry close to the source before it lands.
Log analytics AI, pattern detection and clustering on logs is genuinely strong out of the box.
OTel-friendly, plays well with OpenTelemetry collectors as both input and output.
Cost control story, compelling ingest-savings narrative for teams drowning in log bills.

Where Nova AI Ops Wins

Nova was built for the AI era. Instead of bolting on features, everything is AI-native from the ground up:

AI-native architecture, 100+ AI agents that detect, investigate, and resolve incidents autonomously. Not a chatbot stapled onto metrics.
Unified platform, log analytics, telemetry pipeline, incident management, on-call, runbooks, and auto-remediation in one tool.
Auto-remediation, 75%+ of incidents resolved automatically in under 90 seconds. MTTR drops from 47 minutes to under 2 minutes.
Predictable pricing, one per-user price. No per-host, per-GB, per-event surprises. Free tier to get started.
94% alert noise reduction. AI correlation groups 200+ raw alerts into a single actionable incident.
