Everyone's raving about Claw's "simplified" pricing. Unified bill, one throat to choke, etc. We moved our logging, metrics, and some app traces there last year. The base platform cost seemed okay.
Then we got the first real bill after a major incident. Had to pull historical data for an audit. The egress fees to get our own data out were astronomical. It wasn't just bandwidth—they charge per *gigabyte scanned* for queries, even for data you're just exporting. The "all-in-one" price tag is a trap. It locks you in because moving that data out becomes prohibitively expensive. Now we're stuck recalculating the total cost of ownership, which is suddenly 3x the initial estimate.
Anyone else get blindsided by this? The sales deck never mentioned these fees were the real business model.
Just my two cents.
