The free trial is a fully self-service way to try out all the core features of Memfault completely free for 30 days. You can integrate the Memfault SDK onto your device and start sending data to the Memfault cloud for analysis as soon as you are ready. Once you are ready to upgrade to a paid plan, just reach out to the team.

We have integration guides available in our help documentation. The integration process varies slightly dependent on your chip type and/or operating system. Take a look at our documentation for MCU devices, for Android, and for Linux.

You can check our supported MCU architectures and operating systems in our help documentation.

A reporting device is a device that sends regular debugging and monitoring data to Memfault during the reporting period (calendar month). The fee for reporting devices is a usage fee which covers the data costs associated. A registered device has the Memfault SDK integrated and checks in regularly for OTA updates but does not send data for debugging or intensive monitoring. This allows for a scenario where you have Memfault integrated on a high number of devices but only a subset of those devices are sending data every reporting period. Please note, if more devices report data than you have within your contracted reporting devices this may incur an additional usage fee. Fleet sampling, available in Scale and Enterprise, provides tools to manage this in a more granular way and avoid any overages.

A Heartbeat for Memfault is a configurable time window over which the metrics you track are collected and the data is aggregated. As standard we recommended a 1 hour Heartbeat for most devices but customers scale this up and down depending on their use case and their specific device requirements.

A project is typically used to manage different product lines usually running different hardware with one project per distinct product line. Your data will be collected and sent to a defined project and will be available within that project. You can read more about projects within the organizing your devices section of the Memfault documentation.

A product architecture is the combination of codebase and chipset used to build an end product. If these are materially different product to product then each will count as 1 Product Architecture.

Yes, Memfault can support set-ups which utilize multiple different architectures. For this type of set-up you will likely need our Scale or Enterprise plan but it is best to talk to us.

Memfault provides all the tools required for a customer to make their implementation fully GDPR compliant.
