Datadog Cloud Cost Management: pricing restructured to 3-tier spend-based model
What happened
Between the Mar 30, 2026 and Jun 29, 2026 captures of Datadog's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Single $7.50/host/month plan replaced by 3 tiers - free Datadog Cost Visibility, Pro at $5 per $1,000 cloud/SaaS spend/month, Enterprise at $10 per $1,000 cloud/SaaS spend/month. In detail: Cloud Cost Management restructured from a single $7.50/host/month plan into 3 tiers: free Datadog Cost Visibility, Pro at $5 per $1,000 cloud/SaaS spend/month (or $7.20 on-demand), and Enterprise at $10 per $1,000 cloud/SaaS spend/month (or $15 on-demand). Pricing metric changed from per-host to per-cloud-spend. Pulse files it as a packaging change (package change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Jul 4, 2026) lists Pro at $5 and Enterprise at $10.
It lands 88 days after Datadog's previous change, "Datadog Cloud Cost Management Cloud-cost-management unveils tiered pricing, shifting to spend-based model" (Apr 6, 2026). Datadog has been tracked since 2023-11-14.
In the same window Grafana, Dynatrace and New Relic also changed their Cloud & DevOps pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
