+## Billing plans
+
+Datadog offers two billing plans for host-based products, such as Infrastructure Monitoring, APM, and Database Monitoring:
+
+- **High watermark plan (HWMP)**: Datadog meters your host count each hour. At the end of the month, Datadog bills you on the maximum count (high-water mark) of the lower 99% of those hourly readings, excluding the top 1% to reduce the impact of short usage spikes on your bill. This plan is well-suited to environments with stable usage throughout the month.
+- **Hybrid monthly/hourly plan (MHP)**: You commit to a monthly minimum, and any host hours above that commitment are billed at an hourly rate. Because usage above the commitment is billed hourly, this plan is well-suited to ephemeral environments, such as autoscaling fleets or short-lived workloads.
+
+The following sections describe the most common pricing units for each product.
