| 1,000 tables | $10,000 – $30,000/mo | $100/mo |
| 10,000 tables | "Enterprise Quote" | $100/mo |
Typical vendor pricing based on publicly available per-table and credit-based pricing models. DataKitchen cost shown per database connection.
Head-to-head against every major data quality and observability vendor.
No vendors match. .
Why Our Pricing Is Different
The One-Month Salary Principle
Enterprise data quality for a year should cost about one data engineer's monthly salary, not their annual salary. A team of 10 with 3 databases pays just $15,600/year.
No Perverse Incentives
Competitors charge per table or per credit, which punishes you for monitoring more data. We charge per user and connection. Test every table in every database for the same price.
Bootstrapped & Profitable
We won't jack up prices to meet investors' demands. DataKitchen has been profitable and independent since 2013. Our success is your success.

Pricing FAQ
Common questions about our pricing and plans.
What's included in the free open-source version?
The core profiling, testing, and monitoring engine, for 1 user and 1 connection or project: data profiling, auto-generated tests, anomaly detection, and quality scorecards. Open-source versions are Apache 2.0 licensed. Enterprise adds team access, security, Commercial Pharma tests, source-data controls for AI, and support.
What does "unlimited tables and data volumes" mean?
Exactly what it says. Whether you have 100 tables or 10,000, the price is the same. We don't meter your data volume or charge per table. You pay only for users and connections.
How does your pricing compare to per-table or credit-based tools?
A mid-size team with 10 users and 3 database connections pays $15,600 per year with DataKitchen. Comparable tools that charge per table or per credit typically cost $120,000 to $360,000+ per year for the same data coverage.
Can I start with open source and upgrade to Enterprise?
Yes. Open source and Enterprise share the same core engine. Upgrading adds multi-user access, unlimited projects, enterprise security, and dedicated DataKitchen support. Every supported database works in both editions. Your tests, profiles, and configuration carry over.
Is there a free trial of the Enterprise version?
Contact us to arrange an Enterprise evaluation. You can also install the open-source version immediately to see the core capabilities in action.
What kind of support is included?
Open source includes community support via GitHub. Enterprise includes direct DataKitchen support with priority access to the latest releases.
