Datadog: Custom-metrics overage price hidden, DevSecOps container tier added
What happened
Between the Mar 30, 2026 and Jun 29, 2026 captures of Datadog's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Infrastructure custom-metrics overage price ($1/100) removed from plan summary and FAQ (now vague usage-based billing); Azure App Service instances no longer described as counting toward host totals; new $1.50/container/month tier added for DevSecOps Containers. In detail: Infrastructure pricing changed: custom-metrics overage price ($1/100) hidden from summary/FAQ; Azure App Service no longer counts as a host; new $1.50/container/mo DevSecOps Containers tier added. Pulse files it as a packaging change (metric change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Sep 8, 2026) lists On-Call at $20, Incident Management at $30 and Incident Response at $40.
It lands 60 days after Datadog's previous change, "Datadog Incident Management launches Archive Search at $0.05/GB scanned annually" (May 4, 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.
