Datadog Code Security Iast Code Security: custom metrics rate hidden + new $1.50/container DevSecOps rate
What happened
Between the Mar 30, 2026 and Jun 29, 2026 captures of Datadog's pricing page, Pulse recorded 2 changes: Custom metrics overage FAQ dropped the specific $1/100 metrics/month rate for generic usage-based wording. New $1.50/container/month prepaid rate added specifically for DevSecOps Containers (previously flat $1/container/month for all). In detail: Custom metrics overage FAQ dropped the specific $1 per 100 custom metrics/month rate for generic usage-based wording; New $1.50/container/month prepaid rate added for DevSecOps Containers (previously a flat $1/container/month for all prepaid containers). Pulse files it as a pricing change (price hidden, add-on change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Nov 9, 2026) lists Software Composition Analysis (Runtime SCA) at $10, Runtime Code Analysis (IAST) at $20 and Runtime SCA AWS Fargate Add-on at $1.
This quarterly roll-up includes the change Pulse first recorded in a shorter period: "Datadog Code Security Iast drops AWS Fargate ECS/EKS from Workload Protection…" (week of Apr 27, 2026, saved May 4, 2026). It also records changes none of that period did (add-on change and price hidden), so Pulse counts it as a change of its own. Before that, Datadog's previous recorded change was "Datadog Code Security Iast launches Edge Device Monitoring at $5/host/month" (Mar 23, 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.
