Dear Database Health Monitor Community,
We’ve received a wave of questions about the recent licensing changes in Version 3 of Database Health Monitor. This post aims to clarify everything, address your feedback, and highlight the exciting path ahead for our SQL Server monitoring tool.
Listening to Your Feedback: New Single-Server Licensing
First, a big thank you for the invaluable customer input we’ve received this month. Many of you requested a straightforward, single-license price point for Database Health Monitor in smaller environments. We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve added it to our pricing options!
You can now purchase a license for a single server at these affordable rates:
- Monthly: $9.99 per month
- Annual: $99.99 per year

This new tier makes it simpler than ever to adopt Database Health Monitor in single-server setups without breaking the bank.
The Evolution of Database Health Monitor
Database Health Monitor has come a long way over the past 14 years. It started as a completely free tool during its beta phase, allowing us to rapidly incorporate features and gather community feedback. We then transitioned to a points-based model, where users could earn free connections by subscribing to my mailing list or completing simple tasks. This worked well for a time and helped build our user base.
However, as the product matured, so did our needs. Today, we have a dedicated full-time team handling development, support, and ongoing improvements. This growth brings necessary expenses, making the free and points models unsustainable in the long term.
While we’ve phased out the free options, rest assured: Database Health Monitor remains one of the most cost-effective monitoring and maintenance solutions for SQL Server on the market.
Our Best Value: The Database Health Monitor Class Bundle
For the ultimate deal, consider our Database Health Monitor class, which includes licensing for up to 10 SQL Servers at just $299 per year. It’s perfect for teams managing multiple instances.
