CrewCheck for Indian compliance; Datadog for teams already on the Datadog platform.

What Datadog LLM Observability does well
Datadog's LLM Observability integrates naturally with existing Datadog infrastructure. Teams already running Datadog APM, logs, and dashboards get LLM tracing, cost tracking, and quality metrics without adding a new vendor. The breadth of the Datadog platform means LLM metrics appear alongside application and infrastructure metrics in unified dashboards.
Cost, compliance, and Indian fit
Datadog's pricing model is optimised for large enterprises with USD budgets. For Indian startups and SMEs, adding Datadog LLM Observability on top of existing Datadog costs can be prohibitive. CrewCheck's pricing is designed for Indian teams and includes compliance features that Datadog does not offer at any price tier.
More fundamentally, Datadog LLM Observability is a monitoring product, not a compliance product. It has no Aadhaar detection, no DPDP policy packs, and no RBI FREE-AI compliance controls. Indian regulated entities need compliance enforcement, not just monitoring dashboards.
