FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about SQLWATCH pricing and plans.
What is an instance?
An instance (SQL Instance or simply Instance) is a SQL Server named or default instance we are connecting to. For example, a single VM with two SQL Server Instances counts as two instances. For Azure SQL Database, we use a 3:1 ratio - you can monitor 3 Azure SQL databases for the cost of 1 SQL Server instance. Availability Groups require a licence for each monitored node. Windows Failover Clusters with shared storage need only one licence for the listener. Monitoring AG Listeners counts as an instance.
How many SQL Instances can I monitor?
Business plans support between 3 and 30 SQL instances - use the pricing calculator to see your exact monthly cost. For 30+ instances, our Enterprise plan is tailored to your requirements. MSP pricing is based on your instance count, retention requirements, and client access needs - contact us to discuss your portfolio.
What if I don't like it?
We would like to work with you to ensure you get what you need. However, if the product is not right for you, cancel anytime. We will delete your entire workspace from the production system and any backups.
Are there any hidden costs?
No. Our pricing is exactly what it says - no setup fees, no per-user charges, no surprise invoices. VAT and local taxes are added where applicable. In rare cases where a single instance generates an unusually large volume of data, we may reach out to discuss options - but this affects a very small minority of customers.
How does the 3:1 Azure SQL to SQL Server ratio work?
Your server count can be used flexibly. You can allocate 1 SQL Server instance OR 3 Azure SQL databases per slot. For example, with 15 instances you could monitor 15 SQL Instances, OR 45 Azure SQL databases, OR any combination (e.g., 10 SQL Instances + 15 Azure SQL databases).
Where is my data hosted?
Your SQLWATCH Cloud workspace and all monitoring data are physically hosted in your chosen region. We use regional data centres to ensure your data never crosses borders, maintaining full compliance with GDPR, data sovereignty laws, and local regulations.
How does pricing compare to competitors?
We are typically 50-70% cheaper than per-instance licensing competitors who charge £1,000-1,500+ per instance annually. Our per-server pricing - or wholesale MSP pricing - provides predictable costs and better value.
Do you offer annual contracts?
Yes. Annual billing saves you 15% compared to monthly. If circumstances genuinely change, contact us and we'll work with you.
Do education/non-profit discounts combine with the annual prepay discount?
No. We offer a 20% discount for eligible education, non-profit, and government organisations. This is applied to the list price and cannot be combined with the annual prepay discount - you choose one or the other. Contact us to confirm eligibility.
