Get to root cause faster by seeing how your entire system connects - powered by the Knowledge Graph, which unifies OpenTelemetry and Prometheus metrics.
Learn more | OTel telemetry sent to Datadog is duplicated into a proprietary data format, increasing storage cost and limiting your ability to migrate to another tool. |
Optimize your observability costs | Eliminate 50% or more of your observability cost by keeping only the metrics, logs, traces, and profiles worth your attention, with Adaptive Telemetry. Learn more | Head and tail sampling for traces, selective metric tag indexing, log filtering, and cost attribution.
Host and custom metrics pricing can add up quickly to a large bill. |

Grafana Cloud is a fully managed observability platform used by thousands of leading organizations as an alternative to Datadog. Unlike Datadog, Grafana Cloud offers consumption-based pricing and a free forever tier, unifying metrics, logs, traces, and profiles in an AI-powered platform built on open standards.
Transparent pricing that actually makes sense
No hidden charges for custom metrics, log ingestion, or data retention
Predictable pricing tiers with volume discounts
Built-in Adaptive Telemetry tools help you optimize usage and cut unnecessary spend
“Adaptive Metrics really helps us to grow efficiently from here on out, without just blowing up our metrics and our costs. Simply put, it’s given us more control over our metrics.”
Your data, your control
Built on open standards: OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, and more
No proprietary agents. No lock-in.
Push and pull data on your terms. Use what you need, leave what you don’t
“Grafana provides the same code, the same agent, the same observability everywhere, which was impossible before due to cost.”
Full-stack visibility in one place
Correlate logs, metrics, traces, and profiles from across your infrastructure
Unified dashboards and alerting tools reduce time-to-resolution
No need to jump between tools or tabs
“Grafana changed how our teams tell stories with data, making insights accessible from one unified view.”
