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. Basic 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 Nova AI Ops Wins

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