Datadog Synthetics vs statusas.lt
A Datadog Synthetics alternative without the enterprise bill: 13 locations, a status page included, flat pricing from €30/mo.
TL;DR: Datadog is a whole observability platform priced by usage. statusas.lt does uptime monitoring and status pages for a flat amount in euros.
Datadog Synthetics is one part of a large platform: metrics, logs, APM, synthetic checks. If you already run Datadog for the whole stack, synthetics belong there.
If what you need is an answer to "is it up and fast enough" and a way to tell your users, the Datadog bill gets hard to read quickly — you pay per run, per host and per feature.
Our price is one monthly amount per plan, and the status page is included. Datadog has no customer-facing status page, so you will buy that separately anyway.
