Frequently Asked Questions

What plans does Airbyte offer, and how do they differ?

Airbyte provides multiple plans including the free self-managed Core plan, fully managed Standard and Plus plans, and advanced Pro and Enterprise options that offer additional features and deployment flexibility.

What is capacity-based pricing (Data Workers)?

Capacity-based pricing charges by Data Workers, which are units of compute powering pipelines. This allows for predictable spending based on parallel syncs, rather than unpredictable charges based on data volume.

How is capacity-based pricing different from usage or volume-based pricing?

Unlike usage or volume-based pricing, which bills by data size, capacity-based pricing lets you control costs up front by scaling only the necessary capacity, avoiding unexpected overages.

What is the Plus plan?

The Plus plan is an annual, fully managed offering that provides accelerated support and predictable costs, making it suitable for teams that need enhanced service over the Standard plan.

Can Airbyte provide a tailored quote?

Yes, Airbyte can assess your pipeline needs and provide a customized quote based on your required capacity and deployment preferences.
