Before you pay for Datadog Logs
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: not published on the record we hold. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Datadog Logs against the tools that do have one before committing.
Datadog Logs runs on cloud (aws, azure, google cloud, oracle cloud), and is published by Datadog Inc of United States. The full record is on the Datadog Logs review, and the rest of the category is under best logging tools.
