Datadog for a 100-user team typically costs $180,000 - $480,000/yr per year at list price. Most companies negotiate this down to $130,000 - $360,000/yr, saving $50,000 - $120,000/yr annually. Key negotiation levers include competitive alternatives, fiscal year-end timing, and multi-year commitments.
