Datadog Pricing
Datadog · Developer & Infrastructure
Datadog pricing starts at $18/user/month for the Infrastructure Pro plan (or $15/month billed annually). Datadog offers 3 plans: Free, Infrastructure Pro ($18/mo), and Enterprise (custom quote).
The dominant cloud observability platform (metrics, logs, traces, APM), publicly traded (DDOG), ~$45B market cap. Positioned as the alternative to New Relic + Splunk + PagerDuty stitched together. Distinctive for its notorious usage-based pricing that has surprised engineering teams with 6-figure monthly bills (Coinbase's leaked contract was ~$65M/year in 2022). Priced by seat + host + volume across 20+ meters. Popular with engineering teams; feared by finance teams.
