Frequently asked questions
How is the estimate calculated? +
We use Datadog's public list pricing ($0.10/GB log ingestion + $2.55/GB indexed at 15-day retention; same model for APM) and OpenObserve Cloud's $0.50/GB all-in rate. Your real bill depends on retention windows, on-demand usage, and bundled features — upload your invoice for an exact figure.
What file formats does the bill uploader support? +
Datadog invoices in PDF format, up to 10 MB. We extract every line item, map it to an OpenObserve equivalent, and show per-service savings.
Do I need an account or credit card to see my savings? +
No. The slider estimate and the invoice analysis are both free and require no signup or email. You'll be able to share the full comparison with yourself once it's ready.
