Which should you pick?

Datadog offers the larger headline amount (Up to $100,000 in credits for up to 12 months versus $1,500 off the Team plan (credits expire 1 year after upgrading)). incident.io accepts a wider range of funding stages, while Datadog is more targeted. If you qualify for both, there is usually no reason not to apply to both; the programs are independent.
