Flat-rate monitoring without per-metric fees
Datadog charges per host, per metric, and per useful feature. This is a flat monthly bill for the same job. Most teams save 5 to 10x.
The tax on running real servers
The big monitoring suites were sized for companies with a procurement team. If you do not have one, you are paying for the privilege of being on their pricing page.
Surprise bills
Per-metric and per-host pricing that compounds. One custom metric per pod and the invoice doubles.
Setup that never ends
Two weeks to configure agents, dashboards, integrations, retention rules. A dedicated DevOps to keep it running.
Features you will not use
APM, RUM, synthetic checks, log management, profiling. Bundled at premium prices, on by default, billed regardless.
The math, in three sizes
Datadog list prices for Pro infra ($15/host) on the left, Netwarden flat-rate on the right. Both before discounts.
