Step-by-step: download invoices from Datadog
- 1
Open Plan & Usage
Sign in at app.datadoghq.com (or your regional endpoint, such as app.datadoghq.eu or us3.datadoghq.com). In the left sidebar, click your org name at the bottom, then choose Plan & Usage. This is the main billing entry point.

Confirm your region and organization
Datadog runs multiple regions. Check the URL to confirm you are in the right one (US1, US3, US5, EU, AP1). Each region is a separate account with its own billing. If your company spans regions, you will have more than one set of invoices to collect.

Go to Billing History
In Plan & Usage, select the Billing History tab. You need the Billing Read or Admin role. The table lists each past invoice with invoice number, date, and amount.

Download the PDF
Click the invoice number to open the detail view, then use Download PDF. For on-demand and usage-based charges, line items are grouped by product (Logs, APM, Infrastructure, RUM, and so on).
About Datadog billing
Datadog is powerful and expensive, and its bill tends to surprise finance teams the first time usage spikes. The invoice itself is tidy once you know where to find it.
Billing lives inside Plan & Usage, scoped to the region your organization runs in. Multi-region setups (common in regulated industries) mean multiple organizations and multiple invoice streams.
Datadog pricing is consumption-based across hosts, log volume, custom metrics, APM spans, and more. A single engineer adding high-cardinality tags can double your bill overnight. Check the Usage tab before assuming an invoice is wrong, and consider usage alerts in Monitors to catch spikes before they hit the next bill.
About Datadog
Datadog is a monitoring and observability platform founded in 2010 by Olivier Pomel and Alexis Lê-Quôc. Headquartered in New York, it is publicly traded on Nasdaq. Products span infrastructure monitoring, APM, log management, synthetic monitoring, RUM, security, and more. Pricing is per-host for infrastructure, per-GB for logs, per-million for events, and organizations are scoped to a single region (US1, US3, US5, EU, or AP1).
Manual vs automated
Manual
- Sign in to the correct regional endpoint
- Open Plan & Usage → Billing History
- Download each invoice PDF individually
- Reconcile committed versus on-demand line items
- Match regional invoices if you run multiple organizations
Automated with Inbox Ledger
- Point Datadog billing email at Inbox Ledger once
- Invoices from all regions land in one dashboard
- Export to Drive, Sheets, or your accounting system
Why people stop doing this by hand
Datadog invoices are detailed, which is helpful for reconciliation and annoying for archival. Each one can run to several pages of line items across products. Missing one across regions is easy if your company uses US1 for production and EU for compliance.
The commit-plus-on-demand model adds further complexity. Finance wants to separate the prepaid commit from overages, and the invoice PDF has that split, but only if someone actually reads it. Most finance teams want the documents collected first and the analysis done second. Automated forwarding solves the first part.
There is also the problem of engineer-owned accounts. Datadog often starts life with a single developer's credit card during a trial, then gets adopted across the team without the billing contact ever being updated. The invoices keep arriving at that one engineer's inbox, usually unread.
Next step
If you run one Datadog org in one region and never hit overages, manual is fine. If you run multiple regions, have committed spend, or get surprised by usage-based bills, connect Datadog to Inbox Ledger once and stop chasing invoices across regions.
Where to look in the dashboard
- app.datadoghq.com/account/billing is the direct URL for the US1 region
- Your region may be us3, us5, eu, or ap1, each with its own URL
- Plan & Usage → Billing History for self-serve invoices
- Enterprise invoices come from your account executive by email
Before you start — quick checklist
- The invoice number and date match what you expected
- Your company name and legal entity are correct
- Product line items (Infrastructure, APM, Logs, RUM) are itemized
- Tax is broken out if you added a VAT or GST number
- The PDF file downloaded properly and is not a preview link
Pro tips
- Datadog is priced per host, per million events, per GB ingested. Expect line items rather than one flat subscription charge.
- Enterprise customers receive invoices by email from their Datadog account executive, separate from the self-serve Billing History.
- Commit + on-demand billing is common. You buy a yearly commit and pay overage monthly. Invoices reflect both.
- If you use Datadog across multiple regions, each region is a separate organization. Add them all to your billing routine.
- Log retention, custom metrics, and SLO pricing can catch finance teams off guard. Check usage trends in Plan & Usage before hunting invoices for unexpected totals.
