Save ~60% vs Datadog
One plan, two meters - for a team running 20 hosts and 100 GB/mo of telemetry across APM, logs and infrastructure.
 Growth | Datadogannual list | |
|---|---|---|
| Platform / infra | $99 all-in - 5 hosts + 150 GB included | 20 hosts × $15 = $300 |
| APM | Included | 20 hosts × $31 = $620 |
| Logs | Included - 100 GB under allowance | ingest + indexing ≈ $95 |
| Host overage | 15 hosts × $20 = $300 | - |
| Total / month | $399~60% less | ~$1,015 |
Datadog: published annual list rates verified September 2026 - Infrastructure Pro $15/host, APM $31/host attached to it, log ingest $0.10/GB plus 15-day indexing at $1.70 per million events (about 2 KB per event assumed). Polartrace billable hosts = the 95th percentile of your daily distinct reporting hosts - a deploy or autoscaling spike never sets your bill. See the full comparison →
1 Ingested data is the uncompressed size of the telemetry Polartrace stores for you - request logs, trace spans and host metrics - summed per calendar month in UTC. 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. Data rejected at ingest, or discarded because you were over a cap, is not counted.
