|Metric alert|Metric alerts are useful when you want to be alerted about data that requires little or no manipulation. Metric data is stored in the system already pre-computed, so metric alerts are less expensive than log alerts. If the data you want to monitor is available in metric data, using metric alerts is recommended.|Each metrics alert rule is charged based on the number of time-series that are monitored. |

|Log alert|Log alerts allow you to perform advanced logic operations on your data. If the data you want to monitor is available in logs, or requires advanced logic, you can use the robust features of KQL for data manipulation using log alerts. Log alerts are more expensive than metric alerts.|Each Log Alert rule is billed based the interval at which the log query is evaluated (more frequent query evaluation results in a higher cost). Additionally, for Log Alerts configured for [at scale monitoring](#splitting-by-dimensions-in-log-alert-rules), the cost will also depend on the number of time series created by the dimensions resulting from your query. |

|Activity Log alert|Activity logs provide auditing of all actions that occurred on resources. Use activity log alerts to be alerted when a specific event happens to a resource, for example, a restart, a shutdown, or the creation or deletion of a resource.|For more information, see the [pricing page](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/monitor/).|

|Prometheus alerts (preview)| Prometheus alerts are primarily used for alerting on performance and health of Kubernetes clusters (including AKS). The alert rules are based on PromQL, which is an open source query language. | There is no charge for Prometheus alerts during the preview period. |
