I was the second sales engineer at Datadog. I know how they make money. I know how the bill gets squeezed. I know the plays. I can help you save money.

This is not a post-mortem of a PDF you already understand. If someone on your team will do this in an afternoon, do not buy it.

What you send

You send a usage export or invoice you already have. I do not log in. No production change.

What you get back

In 10 business days you get a PDF and a spreadsheet: which lines to turn off or drop before renewal, which monitors are noise, each finding named against Datadog’s public price list. No percent of savings. No promise of a dollar cut.

Price

  • $5,000 if you already spend more than about $10,000 a month. Half refundable until the files are opened. Balance on delivery.
  • $1,500 if you are on Datadog for Startups and the bill is about to become real.

One optional kickoff. After that, email only.

Out of scope

Agent installs, write access, 24/7, SOC 2, percent-of-savings deals.
