Datadog Pricing in Vantage
For certain services, Datadog prices based on the 95th to 99th percentile (p95/p99) of usage rather than daily usage. For example, APM is billed on the 99th percentile of the number of hosts you have running at any given time. In Vantage, Datadog costs are realized on the first day of the month. As the month progresses, you might notice that costs retroactively increase or decrease based on your usage. Because these costs are always realized on the first of the month, when you compare previous periods for services that price on the p95/p99 of usage, you’ll always have the same comparison dates. For services that do not price on p95/p99, Vantage shows costs realized per day, when the accompanying usage data is available. In the below visual example, a Cost Report is filtered to all Datadog costs. The date grouping is set to Daily. If you select a service row in the table, that service is isolated on the graph, and you can see how the service is priced. In this example, Log Management has accrual data and prices daily; whereas, Containers is priced based on the p95/p99 of usage, and costs are realized on the first of the month.
