Observability Plus is available on Enterprise and Pro plans
Those with the owner role can access this feature
Every Vercel team has access to Observability. Observability Plus is available on Pro and Enterprise teams and unlocks more granular data exploration, helping you pinpoint when and why issues occurred.
For teams created or upgraded to Pro on or after April 3, 2026, Observability Plus is enabled by default. Existing Pro and Enterprise teams can enable it separately.
To learn more about Observability Plus, see Limitations or pricing.
To enable Observability Plus on an existing Pro or Enterprise team:
- Go to the Observability Plus section of your team's Billing settings.
- Turn on the Observability Plus toggle.
- Review any charges, then confirm to enable.
Observability Plus access depends on your plan:
- Pro: For teams created or upgraded to Pro on or after April 3, 2026, Observability Plus is enabled by default. Existing Pro teams can enable it using the steps above.
- Hobby: Upgrade to a Pro plan to access Observability Plus.
- Enterprise: Enable Observability Plus using the steps above.
By default, Observability Plus applies to all projects in your team. You can exclude specific projects to control costs. Excluded projects revert to the free-tier observability experience with limited retention and no access to advanced metrics or Query.
You can exclude a project from Observability Plus in three ways:
During initial enablement:
When enabling Observability Plus for the first time, the setup flow includes a project selection step where you can choose which projects to exclude. This modal shows your top projects by usage. To exclude other projects, use the project-level option described below.
From billing settings:
- Navigate to your team's Billing settings.
- In the Observability Plus section, click Manage projects.
- Toggle off the projects you want to exclude.
This modal also shows your top projects by usage. To exclude projects not listed in the modal, use the project-level option below.
From the project observability dashboard:
- Navigate to your project's Observability dashboard.
- Click the more options button () at the top right of the page, then select Exclude Project from Plus.
- Confirm the exclusion in the modal.
Events from excluded projects won't count toward your Observability Plus usage.
To re-enable Observability Plus for an excluded project:
- From billing settings: Navigate to Billing > Observability Plus > Manage projects and toggle the project back on.
- From the project observability dashboard: Click the more options button () at the top right of the page, then select Include Project in Plus.
The project immediately regains access to Observability Plus features.
Pro teams can disable Observability Plus at any time. After you disable it, Vercel stops collecting Observability Plus events. To regain access to extended retention data, re-enable it.
- Go to the Observability Plus section of your team's Billing settings.
- Click the toggle to disable it.
- Click Confirm in the Turn off Observability Plus dialog.
Users on all plans can use Observability at no additional cost, with some limitations. Observability is available for all projects in the team.
Pro and Enterprise teams can use Observability Plus for additional features, higher limits, and increased retention. Vercel bills you based on usage at a per-event rate. See the table below for pricing details:

Observability Plus uses usage-based pricing. You're only charged for events your team generates. Usage is prorated within your billing cycle. For example:
- If you disable Observability Plus before the billing cycle ends, Observability Plus will automatically turn off, Vercel will stop collecting events, and you will lose access to existing data.
- Once the billing cycle is over, you will be charged for the events collected prior to disabling. You won't be refunded any amounts already paid.
