Built a Datadog cost calculator
How on earth do people deal with Datadog's billing practices?
Why use datadog when it is so expensive?
All of my customers are focused on getting off of NewRelic, zero will renew next year. They really screwed up their pricing structure and pissed every single customer of mine off. Everyone went from loving NewRelic to focused on how quick can we get rid of it. It's rare that yo see a company screw themselves over as hard as they did, but they seemed to have managed to. F*** NewRelic.

I’ve been using Datadog for years, and one of the biggest challenges for me has always been figuring out the bill ahead of time. I’ve noticed I’m not alone—many others are caught off guard by their bills, which is never good.
I originally built this tool to help myself, but I decided to improve it so others could benefit. I’m continuously adding more pricing details as I start using additional services.
