FAQ
We calculate prices based on the amount of memory of your hosts
| Max. host memory | Applications, services and hosts | Cloud infrastructure only |
|---|---|---|
| 1.6 GB | $0.035/h | $0.0105/h |
| 4GB | $0.0875/h | $0.02625/h |
| 8GB | $0.175/h | $0.0525/h |
| 16GB | $0.35/h | $0.105/h |
| >16GB | n*$0.35/h | n*$0.105/h |
n=ceil(amount of host memory / 16)
If your host memory is over 16GB, the price will rise by $0.35/h for application, services and host monitoring and $0.0105/h for cloud infrastructure monitoring with every started 16GB.
How do you define a session (i.e., a user visit)?
A session covers any interaction between a customer’s browser and your application. A session includes at least one action. You aren’t charged for bounce visits (i.e., visits that only include a single user action). Sessions end when a user’s browser closes or is inactive for 30 minutes.
What’s a web check?
A web check is the equivalent of one simulated user interaction on your website. Availability monitoring with synthetic web checks lets you proactively know when your application is inaccessible or when performance has degraded below baseline performance. A web check is not a simple ping, it uses a real browser engine. You can even use the Dynatrace recorder to record multiple user interactions. Once you’ve captured the user journey, the defined web checks will run automatically at regular intervals to test your site’s availability and functionality.
Can I buy application monitoring or user experience monitoring separately, or do I need to buy both?
Although real user monitoring, application monitoring, and synthetic monitoring are sold as a package, you only pay for what you use. So, if you only use real user monitoring, you don’t even need to install an agent. As long as you don’t inject our agentless RUM JavaScript tag into your webservers (which would generate user sessions) or use synthetic monitoring to measure your site’s availability and performance with web checks, there will be no additional charges.
Do you offer discounts for startups on a shoestring budget?
Yes, we love startups! Contact Dynatrace sales for a quote.
I have a dynamic environment. Will that affect my pricing?
Dynatrace was built with dynamic application environments in mind. We give you all the flexibility you need to monitor your servers on the fly. You only pay for what you use. Nothing more.
What if I decide to cancel, is there a penalty?
If you’re using our pure consumption-based pricing plan, there is no contract to sign and no penalty. You can stop using Dynatrace whenever you wish and only pay for what you’ve used.
Is it difficult to remove Dynatrace from my application?
Removing Dynatrace is easy. We supply you with an uninstall script that you can use to remove all traces of Dynatrace from your servers. Alternatively, you can turn off Dynatrace whenever you want to stop monitoring.
What do I pay for maintenance?
Nothing. Dynatrace SaaS is purely cloud-based software!
Can I try it before I buy it?
Yes, you can try Dynatrace for free to start, with 1,000 host hours and 50,000 user sessions.
What happens when my free usage period ends?
You’ll be prompted to enter your billing information. Contact Dynatrace sales at any time to update your account and continue using Dynatrace SaaS.
When do I pay?
You’ll be billed for your Dynatrace usage at the end of each 30-day billing period.
