Verdict

Grafana Loki offers a free tier ("Free OSS") while Logz.io does not currently have a free tier. Grafana Loki has a more stable pricing history (0 recorded changes vs 1).

A verdict here is not a fixed property of the vendor. A one-off pricing event demotes a vendor while its recorded date falls in the last 180 days and then lapses on its own, with nothing about the vendor having changed; a standing condition — a free tier withdrawn and not restored, a product retired — does not lapse with time. A badge carrying a date states the record it rests on; a badge with no date rests on no record in force.
