Datadog launches AI Credits at $500/mo
What happened
Between the Jun 1, 2026 and Jun 8, 2026 captures of Datadog's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: New AI Credits product launched at $500/500 credits/month ($1.30/credit on-demand), bundling Bits Chat, Bits Investigation, Bits Code, and Bits Agent Builder into a unified credit-based AI model. Pulse files it as a packaging change (new plan) with an upward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Aug 3, 2026) lists RUM Measure at $0.15, RUM Investigate at $3 and Session Replay at $2.5.
It lands 20 days after Datadog's previous change, "Datadog Real User Monitoring Session Replay hides Custom Metrics overage rate" (May 19, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Datadog Real User Monitoring Session Replay adds Archive Search at $0.05/GB" (May 4, 2026), "Datadog Real User Monitoring Session Replay Adds Edge Device Monitoring to Infras" (Mar 23, 2026) and "Datadog Real User Monitoring Session Replay drops $5/device IoT monitoring" (Mar 10, 2026). Datadog has been tracked since 2023-11-14.
In the same window Grafana, New Relic and Dynatrace also changed their Cloud & DevOps pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
