One platform,
not twelve meters.
Cut compute and storage by more than 80% — losslessly, in the cloud you already own.
Datadog splits observability across twelve separately billed products — logs are metered once to ingest and again to index, while hosts, APM, and custom metrics each carry their own line. Sasquatch replaces the whole stack with one bill, lossless, in the cloud you already own.
15 TB / month of K8s logs · annual list price · every figure traces to a published rate.
Baseline
And a fraction of the total Datadog bill — lossless, in the cloud you already own.
One line item, not a meter stack.
The Datadog bill splits across a stack of separately metered line items. Sasquatch is one rate on the compressed bytes you keep — the same workload, a fraction of the footprint. Each block is a real line item; the length is its share.
One meter. Five meters.
The same workload, two monthly statements. One is a single line you can forecast to the byte; the other is a stack of meters, each on its own unit, re-negotiated at every renewal.
One line, one unit — forecast it to the byte.
Monthly statement5 meters, each on its own unit — re-forecast every renewal.
15 TB in. 150 GB out.
The full bar is the raw workload. The fill is what actually survives to disk after each product compresses it — shorter is cheaper to store, forever.

Pods → cloud egress → Datadog cloud → DDQLWhere each tool wins.
Lossless retention, your-cloud sovereignty, bytes-in pricing, voice, and agentic AI investigation, across every signal. We match the table stakes and win where the bill is decided.
