Datadog is the leading full-stack observability platform. BunnyLogs is a simpler, EU-native alternative for real-time log streaming and multi-channel ingestion.
Datadog is the gold standard for enterprise full-stack observability — APM, metrics, and logs in one platform. BunnyLogs wins for projects that don't need that full stack: it costs far less, requires no Datadog agent, and adds email/messaging ingestion and UUID-based sharing that Datadog doesn't offer.
Datadog's log pricing — $0.10/GB ingest plus $1.70/million retained events — compounds fast. BunnyLogs charges €5/started GB total, with no separate retention or indexing fee.
Datadog requires the Datadog Agent or an HTTP library. BunnyLogs also accepts raw email, WhatsApp, and Telegram — no agent or SDK changes needed.
BunnyLogs stores all data exclusively in the EU. Datadog's EU region requires explicit selection and some support operations still cross US infrastructure.
