Hi @AKumar123, The Basic (free) plan includes Kibana Alerting. For reporting, you'll need to apply for a Gold license. Or you can give it a try to our [Elastic Cloud](https://www.elastic.co/pricing/) so you'll save costs on self-hosting the solution. Regarding alternative plugins, I'm personally not aware of any but maybe the community can help you out. ---
