Outgrowing Dash0?
Observability built for agents, on the OpenTelemetry data you already send.
Oodle can help you if
- ✓Your Dash0 bill keeps growing as your telemetry grows
- ✓You've cut metrics or logs just to keep the bill down
- ✓Your team already knows Grafana, PromQL or OpenSearch
- ✓You want your agents to debug with full production context
Oodle is probably not for you if
- —You don't want to reduce your costs
- —You still want to debug issues without AI assistance
- —Your team prefers Dash0 dashboards over Grafana and OpenSearch
Trusted by startups, unicorns and public companies
What engineers are actually saying about Dash0
A bill that grows with everything you send
Logs, spans and metric data points are each metered per million, so every new service and every extra scrape adds to the invoice.
"The number of data points is excessive for our purposes, and we'd like to reduce it."
- Team evaluating Dash0 on KubernetesAccess control that stops a company-wide rollout
Reviewers find roles too coarse once more teams join, and SignalControl changes need an admin.
"the rights management is still a bit too simple for a company-wide rollout."
- Software company rolling Dash0 out to its developersFeatures you'd expect are still missing
Teams coming from Datadog or Grafana run into gaps in sampling, retention and day-to-day tooling.
"Feature parity with well established platforms like Datadog is not there yet"
- Engineer comparing Dash0 with DatadogDashboards and queries that hold you back
Dashboards are less flexible than Grafana, and common log exploration takes extra work.
"The dashboards are a little limiting"
- Engineer who moved all monitoring to Dash0Additional reported issues

*Assumptions: Dash0 at list price with nothing filtered out. Converted to Dash0 units at 1 KB per log record, 1.5 KB per span, and one data point per series every 60 seconds. 30-day retention on both.
Dash0's prices are per million records: $0.60 for log records and spans, $0.20 for metric data points, each split into an ingestion and a storage fee.
