The plans
What Datadog Database Monitoring charges
Datadog Database Monitoring starts at US$70 per database host each month when billed annually, or US$84 per host on demand. Your bill also includes a separate Infrastructure Monitoring subscription.
Per database host
US$70 per database host each month, billed annually
Datadog also lists US$84 per host per month on demand, and Infrastructure Monitoring is separate.
How the bill is built
Each database host
The published starting rate is US$70 per database host per month when billed annually. Each monitored host is a billable unit, so the host charge grows as your monitored database estate grows.
Your billing choice
Datadog lists US$70 per host per month with annual billing and US$84 per host per month on demand. The lower starting rate requires annual billing, so check which rate and billing arrangement apply to your account.
Infrastructure Monitoring
Infrastructure Monitoring is a separate subscription alongside Database Monitoring. Datadog uses its collection service for Database Monitoring, so check the Infrastructure Monitoring part of your invoice as well as the database host charges.
A year of Datadog Database Monitoring
Annual cost grows with each host
At the published starting rate, one database host costs US$840 a year when billed annually. For 30 hosts, that adds up to US$25,200 a year before Infrastructure Monitoring. This is an illustrative list-price calculation, not a verified customer invoice, and the separate Infrastructure Monitoring subscription adds to the bill.
Underneath the bill
What you are really paying for
Live measurements
The subscription covers monitoring and diagnostics, including collection of live measurements. You are paying for ongoing operational coverage, rather than only reviewing saved performance evidence when your team chooses to.
Performance history
Datadog records how tracked database requests perform over time. That gives you performance trends and history to review, alongside the ongoing collection that supports monitoring.
Diagnostic detail
Datadog includes detailed execution plans and relationships between measurements. These views support investigation of database performance, beyond a review of saved results and follow-up work.
The owned alternative
Keep your performance records
Enterprise DNA builds Query Performance around how your business works, brings your Datadog Database Monitoring data across and runs the version for you. You review records from a database you own in plain language, with no per-seat plans. Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee, then a monthly retainer. There is also a free version you can run yourself. It reviews supported saved exports, rather than replacing Datadog’s continuous collection and live diagnostics.
