- · new tierDatadog — Infrastructure pricing adds a "Basic" host tier (contact sales, core system metrics, 15-month metric retention, no container monitoring; can be mixed with Pro or Enterprise hosts). The standalone Free card is gone; the FAQ now says the Free tier is up to five Basic hosts with 1-day retention. Pro $15/host ($18 on-demand) and Enterprise $23/host ($27 on-demand) unchanged. source ↗
