New Relic AI in one minute
Best for: Engineering teams that want APM, logs, and AI-assisted alerting with a usable free tier to start.
Biggest catch: Bills climb fast when ingest exceeds 100 GB or you need many full-platform users.
Skip it if: You only need a light log tool, or your ingest volume would blow past free without budget for Data Plus.
Price: Free: 100 GB ingest/mo, 1 full-platform user, unlimited basic users. Paid ingest ~$0.40/GB (original) or $0.60/GB (Data Plus). Full-platform users from $10–$99 (Standard) or $349+/user (Pro). (checked Oct 14, 2026)

AI SRE & Observability · Infrastructure Monitoring
Best for: Existing Datadog customers who want AI-assisted investigations without exporting telemetry elsewhere.
Pros
- Bits AI products (Chat, Investigation, Code, Agent Builder) sit on the same telemetry you already collect in Datadog
- AI Credits publish clear rates: bundles start at $500 per 500 credits/month on annual commit; investigations average ~6.5 credits
- Watchdog anomaly detection remains part of broader observability; Bits can investigate from those signals
Biggest catch
Credits reset monthly with no rollover; on-demand overage applies when you blow the bundle
Skip it if: You are not on Datadog yet, or you need a cheap standalone AIOps tool without a full observability suite.
Starting price: AI Credits from $500 per 500 credits/mo (annual); monthly and on-demand tiers available. Investigations ~6.5 credits avg. Core Datadog products priced separately. (checked Oct 12, 2026)

AI SRE & Observability · Infrastructure Monitoring
Best for: Enterprises standardizing observability on Dynatrace that want causation AI and optional agentic ops.
Pros
- Davis AI Exploration (DQL help, anomaly detection, forecasting, log patterns) is included with no extra AI charge
- Full-Stack Monitoring publishes transparent host pricing (e.g. $58/mo per 8 GiB host) with automated RCA in the platform
- Agentic Operations is metered at $0.10 per AI unit with published averages (e.g. ~30 units for multi-step investigations)
Biggest catch
Platform Subscription is an annual commit model—not a casual $20 SaaS experiment
Skip it if: You need a cheap starter APM, or you only want a chat assistant without Dynatrace telemetry.
Starting price: AI Exploration: included. Agentic Operations: $0.10/AI unit. Full-Stack from $58/mo per 8 GiB host (DPS annual commit). (checked Oct 12, 2026)
