The Verdict
Grafana is built for devops teams and sre teams, with a focus on dashboards and data-sources. June targets b2b saas and product managers and leads with auto-reports and activation-tracking.
On pricing, Grafana is the clear winner for budget-conscious users — starting at $29/mo compared to $149/mo for June. That $120/mo difference adds up quickly for growing teams.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Feature-wise, Grafana offers broader built-in capabilities (8 features vs 6), while June takes a more focused approach — which can mean a simpler, faster onboarding experience.
This is a genuinely close comparison. If you can, sign up for both free trials (where available) and run a one-week test with your actual team tasks before deciding.
