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.
Also "free market" doesn't mean "you don't get to make any value judgements about any decisions made in the market." Quite the opposite, in fact.

#15Never heard of DBT before so can't comment on that. However, I think the decision to do the increase at once seems kinda "fair". I mean they could've just raised by 10 every year were most people might say "oh it's only 10 bucks, so no big deal..." till they creepingly hit the 100 as well. At least they are upfront.

#16all just part of building a sustainable business in a rapidly shifting climate from "growth at all costs" to "break even as fast as possible".

#17I am using DBT and I think this is quite unfair, mainly because we have recently introduced this and have built on it quite a bit. Removal of DBT is now a big job, so I think using this knowledge and doubling prices does not seem fair.
Also Google have their own version of this, which for those who are using GCP and BigQuery could mean an easier which…

You know you can self host it if you need to.

Yeah, don't trash that work. Just use DBT core instead. You can call DBT runs from Airflow jobs quite easily.

#20In a recession you learn who your true strategic partners are. It is fair enough that prices need to be increased in line with cost, however, a 100% increase with one month notice is #@#**. In our case it would be a 600% increase as this forces us onto the enterprise plan. Budgets for 2023 have already been agreed this late in the year, so this is a hard sell to the C suite.
Our conclusion is that we can't rely on DBT cloud. What is stopping them from doing this again next year?
DBT is a great tool, however, in the end it is just a Ninja templating engine. I have build something similar myself in the past, and for now I can just use dbt-core with VsCode.
