#2Price will go up from $50 to $100 per seat. Now can only have 8 seats instead of 40 seats and only 1 project instead of unlimited projects.

#4Based on the public posts I've seen about enterprise prices, for many teams this will mean a 600%+ per seat increase if they have more than 8 developers.
Which makes sense because dbtLabs has a bunch of venture funding and is trying to monetize their community and open source package, but is rough for organizations that want to encourage their analysts to move towards engineering levels of quality.

#5One of the reasons they want to increase price is because they have new features.
Yet not every customer uses every new feature. Indeed, features are often used to bring in new customers. Sally wants eg live metrics, Bob needs a specific kind of weekly report.
Now Acme co wants to increase the price to both Sally and Bob since there are more features, but Sally and Bob each only use a single feature.
The other issue is that two critical features for dbt are under more expensive plans - SSO and api access. This sours the lower plans by quite a bit. Even as a solo dev, I use SSO!

#6Only reason I'm kinda okay with this is because of the open source side is still strong. It's 90% of the features needed for a product, but the cloud offering is the same 90% but better for teams bigger than 3 and larger organizations.
I genuinely think that this pricing increase is justifiable, and also will spark more competition to DBT Cloud's features in the open source space to get select cloud features. Since they are objectively forcing out a large amount of small teams and start-ups
For instance, I was planning to organize the data side of my consulting side there, but it doesn't make sense to do that anymore. So if someone's doing that now, it Christmas is gunna be fun switching over to your own solutions

I can see two reasons to make a comment like this. One, you think that there is somebody here who has not heard of the free market before. The other is to preempt criticism of a material change in pricing. Neither makes any sense to me. One can't have free markets without free speech.

#8Long time dbt user since early days, 2018. I started on git ci/cd and orchestration or runs via airflow. I'm sure there are even easier ways to do it these days.
I'm hoping the silver lining is that more of the "less technical" business folks referenced in the announcement who were willing to pay $50/seat but not $100 will actually upskill, set up their own orchestration and development process, and end up not paying dbt together.

Then what's the point of your comment? Did you sincerely think that somebody here didn't know that markets work through customers deciding what to buy?
