  Dynatrace prices on a single ANNUAL PLATFORM COMMITMENT rather than per-capability tiers. Every
  capability is unlocked on day one and draws down from the commitment at rate-card pricing, with
  no overage premium. The entries below are rate-card unit prices, not subscription tiers a buyer
  picks between — which is why plan_count here counts priced capabilities, not purchasable plans.

description: Dynatrace bills consumption-based per capability (host, pod, container, GiB ingest/retain/query,
  session). The Dynatrace API itself is included with any subscription; pricing is driven by underlying
  observability units. Rates below are list pricing in USD; volume and multi-year discounts negotiated
  with sales.
