Sysdig pricing: the quick answer
Sysdig's own pricing page is quote-only, but its AWS Marketplace listing publishes the real per-host rates: CNAPP Enterprise runs $72 per host per month and Monitor Enterprise Host runs $36 per host per month, both with a 20-host minimum purchase. There is no free tier. On top of the committed host rate, usage overages stack separately, including $0.13 per host-hour on CNAPP Enterprise plus metered fees for cloud-logs events and time-series metrics. So the sticker is two layers: a committed per-host base plus metered usage. Larger deals route through a Private Offer.
- Monitor Enterprise$36/mo
- CNAPP Enterprise$72/mo
At $36/mo to start, Sysdig sits 76% below the $149.83/mo median across 2 cloud security (cnapp/cspm) tools we track.

Sysdig Hidden Costs & Pitfalls
Sysdig bills in two stacked layers, and the marketplace rate card exposes both. The committed host rate is only the floor; overages meter on top of it.

Positioning
Sysdig's own site sends you to sales, but the AWS Marketplace listing exposes the actual rate card. CNAPP Enterprise is $72 per host per month and Monitor Enterprise Host is $36 per host per month, each with a 20-host minimum. That minimum matters more than the unit rate: it sets a real floor of $1,440/mo for CNAPP and $720/mo for Monitor before a single overage. The platform is valued highly by teams running complex Kubernetes environments, and it is the natural home for Falco-based runtime detection. It is a specialist tool, worth the per-host premium for dedicated security operations and wasteful if you hand it to general developers.
Cost drivers
- 1The committed host rate is layer one. Layer two is metered overage: $0.13 per host-hour on CNAPP, $2.50 per Cloud Logs event, and $7.00 per Monitor time-series metric, among others. High log or metric volume can inflate the bill well past the host math.
- 2Self-hosting instead of the SaaS version trades the subscription for real infrastructure and maintenance overhead you carry yourself.
- 3Scaling cluster size can trip step-up thresholds even though the model is meant to be steadier than a Datadog-style bill.
Watch-outs
The common failure is the gap between a clean demo and a messy real deployment.
Strengths
- Creator and primary sponsor of CNCF Falco, which buys real community trust.
- Best-in-class runtime container security.
- A genuinely Kubernetes-native architecture rather than a bolted-on scanner.
Editor’s take
Teams running complex multi-cloud Kubernetes should consolidate on the full Sysdig Platform and keep an eye on the overage meters alongside the host count. If you only need threat detection and compliance without deep observability, Sysdig Secure alone is enough. For an agentless, side-scanning alternative with a different take on risk prioritization, weigh Wiz against it.
