Disagree, DataDog charges at least $0.10 / GB to forward your logs to your S3. For same price, Sumo Logic allows you to have data search on-demand with no rehydrate. Rehydrate will charge you a lot and take time, at Sumo you can query immediate right away.
I would argue Sumo on-demand search is the least expensive logging product on market, yet very feature rich.

Is Sumo Logic available on a month to month basis? All the prices on the pricing page say “multi-year agreement”. I’m also having dificulty figuring out exactly what it will costs, I don’t find the credit system particularly clear.
I’m about to launch a new project and am currently planning to use Datadog (for both metrics and logs, possibly more in time), but would happily consider alternatives, especially if cheaper or with more straightforward pricing, but so far Sumo’s pricing doesn’t look any more straightforward and I’m not able to commit to anything beyond month to month and by my reading of the pricing page, Sumo doesn’t offer that.
I can't even figure out Sumo's pricing by looking at their pricing page. DataDog's pricing page on the other hand is very easy to understand even though it contains 2 aspects (ingest and index). I would note that Data Dog lies about pricing by showing you a 7-day retention setting pricing that isn't actually available.
