You will not need a dedicated full-time team to manage Phare. There’s about three features which is probably about 1% of what Datadog has to offer.
Absolutely, Datadog is notorious for complex, high-cost usage bills. Phare offers a transparent, usage-based model with a free plan that doesn't require a credit card.
Phare is suitable for companies that want simplicity and ownership. If you need 50+ different metrics from server-side APM, Datadog is the standard. If you just need to know when your site goes down, Phare will be a good pick.
Use every feature for free. Invite your whole squad. No credit card, no surprise charges, no clingy follow-up emails if you leave. Phare is a genuinely great platform, thoughtfully built with a lot of love.
