You have to survive as company long enough where paying 30k/month sounds reasonable for logging… esp if your revenue is nowhere near it, and are not VC funded… and you will always have to maintain your integrations at the very least.
When you start you'll likely pay a few hundred dollars per month tops. Your personal time alone is probably worth more than that.
I at least helped 10x the customers and cut costs from when I joined to before I left (stayed a little over a year)… but man, talk about constraints…
