Allowance appliesA Read-Only seat licence exists; no price or limit is published.Starter is $100 per user per month and includes 5 developer seats. Seats are charged upfront at the start of the month and prorated if added mid-month. The pricing page does not publish a price for seats beyond the included 5, and Enterprise seat counts are custom.
Usage is counted as successful models built in deployment environments. Starter includes 15,000 per month and Enterprise 100,000. Unused models do not roll over. Billing docs say usage above the allowance is billed in arrears at the rates on the pricing page, but those rates are not stated there.
Semantic Layer queries are counted as queried metrics, with 5,000 per month on Starter and 20,000 on Enterprise and Enterprise+. Each calculated metric in a multi-metric query counts separately. No overage rate is published on the pricing page.
Billed per Daily Active Target Table, meaning each daily unique reuse of a model, test or snapshot. Pay-as-you-go is $0.094 per table. A free monthly allowance exists, and custom pricing is available for upfront commits. Reused models are billed here instead of as models built.
Charged per token at rates that vary by AI model, listed on a separate table. Developer and Starter get a $100 credit for a 30-day trial. Enterprise includes $100 per month in credits per account and Enterprise+ $200, with extra usage billed as a consumption add-on.
