Datadog Cloud-cost-management unveils tiered pricing, shifting to spend-based model.
What happened
Between the Mar 30, 2026 and Apr 6, 2026 captures of Datadog's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Pricing restructured from single $7.50/host/month to 3 tiers: Datadog Cost Visibility (Free), Pro $5/per $1K spend/mo, Enterprise $10/per $1K spend/mo. Billing metric changed from per host to per $1K 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 5 days after Datadog's previous change, "Datadog Cloud Cost Management Launches Edge Device Monitoring at $5/Host/Month" (Apr 1, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Datadog Cloud Cost Management launches Data Observability at $16/table/month" (Week 3, 2026). Datadog has been tracked since 2023-11-14.
In the same window New Relic, Dynatrace, Grafana, Elastic and Sumologic also changed their Cloud & DevOps pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
