Is there a free tier for Datadog?

Datadog offers a free tier with limited features: up to 5 hosts for infrastructure monitoring with 1-day retention. Paid features like APM, logs, and advanced monitoring are not included.

How long is my data retained after cancelling?

Data retention depends on your plan. After cancellation, data is typically retained for a short grace period before being permanently deleted. Export any dashboards or reports you need.

Can I cancel Datadog immediately or is there a contract?

If you're on a month-to-month plan, you can cancel at the end of any billing period. Annual contracts may require fulfilling the commitment period or paying an early termination fee.
