Plans and billing
dbt offers several plans with different features that meet your needs. We may make changes to our plan details from time to time. We'll always let you know in advance, so you can be prepared. The following section explains how billing works in each plan.
Developer plan billing
Developer plans are free and include one Developer license and 3,000 models each month. Models are refreshed at the beginning of each calendar month. If you exceed 3,000 models, any subsequent runs will be canceled until models are refreshed or until you upgrade to a paid plan. The rest of the dbt platform is still accessible, and no work will be lost.
Included model entitlements may differ from what's shown here, depending on the terms when you signed up.
Starter plan billing
Starter customers pay monthly via credit card for seats and usage, and accounts include 15,000 models monthly. Seats are charged upfront at the beginning of the month. If you add seats during the month, seats will be prorated and charged on the same day. Seats removed during the month will be reflected on the next invoice and are not eligible for refunds. You can change the credit card information and the number of seats from the billings section anytime. Accounts will receive one monthly invoice that includes the upfront charge for the seats and the usage charged in arrears from the previous month.
Usage is calculated and charged in arrears for the previous month. If you exceed 15,000 models in any month, you will be billed for additional usage on your next invoice. Additional usage is billed at the rates on our pricing page.
Included models that are not consumed do not roll over to future months.
Included model entitlements may differ from what's shown here, depending on the terms when you signed up.
Enterprise plan billing
As an Enterprise customer, you pay annually via invoice, monthly in arrears for additional usage (if applicable), and may benefit from negotiated usage rates. Please refer to your order form or contract for your specific pricing details, or contact the account team with any questions.
Enterprise plan billing information is not available in the dbt UI. Changes are handled through your dbt Labs Solutions Architect or account team manager.
Legacy plans
Customers who purchased the dbt Starter plan (formerly Team) plan before August 11, 2023, remain on a legacy pricing plan as long as your account is in good standing. The legacy pricing plan is based on seats and includes unlimited models, subject to reasonable use.
dbt Labs may institute use limits if reasonable use is exceeded. Additional features, upgrades, or updates may be subject to separate charges. Any changes to your current plan pricing will be communicated in advance according to our Terms of Use.
