Four editions, anchored on committed daily volume and Worker entitlement. Start free and local, activate Community+ at no charge, move to Standard for production, and to Enterprise for a negotiated agreement.
You pay for the data entering the platform — not every place you route it afterward.
No license required
Community Edition

What changes as you move up the ladder.
Every edition shares the same pipeline model and Visual Editor. What changes is the commercial entitlement — daily volume, Workers and the shape of the agreement.

"No licensed limit" and "all features" describe the commercial software entitlement, not infinite technical capacity or a service level. Capacity remains bounded by your deployed infrastructure and supported architecture. Third-party or AI consumption, hosted and managed services, professional services, and contractual SLAs may be priced separately without becoming product-feature gates.
The meter01/02
How volume is measured
Meter once, at input.
We meter the uncompressed input payload bytes LyftData accepts from your external sources, counted once at original acceptance. Transforms, fan-out, outputs, retries and trusted replay of already-metered data add nothing. Units are decimal — 1 TB is 1,000,000,000,000 bytes — and the commercial day is the UTC calendar day.

Fan-out — not metered
Your usage is observed and shown back to you — current entitlement, volume by the same unit and window we use commercially, trend and forecast. It is the same evidence LyftData uses.
Over-use02/02
Going over your entitlement
Over-use starts a conversation, not an outage.
Under current offers, going over your volume entitlement on a licensed edition does not stop, throttle, or undeploy anything. It is handled contractually, through an assistive true-up.

Usage is observed and shared with you as evidence
We reach out and run an assistive true-up conversation
You can correct, dispute, or request an exception on the evidence
Community Edition's own rate limiter is the one deliberate exception, and it is retained
Community Edition’s own local rate limiter is a deliberate edition boundary, not a true-up action, and it does not apply to paid editions.
Pricing FAQ
Common questions.
What happens if I exceed my entitlement?
Under current offers, going over your volume entitlement on a licensed edition does not stop, throttle, or undeploy anything. Your usage is observed, shown back to you, and if there is a sustained mismatch we reach out and run an assistive true-up: commercial non-compliance is handled contractually, not by the product. The one exception is Community Edition's own local rate limiter, which is an edition boundary we deliberately retain, and which Community+ activation removes.
How is pricing determined?
Editions are anchored on daily volume entitlement and Worker entitlement. Community Edition requires no license and Community+ is licensed at no charge with an annual renewal. Standard starts at $50k per year for 1 TB/day committed and scales by committed TB/day; quotes beyond that starting point, and all Enterprise pricing, are discussed with you directly.
What exactly is measured?
We meter the uncompressed input payload bytes LyftData accepts from your external sources, counted once at original acceptance. Transforms, fan-out, outputs, retries, and trusted replay of already-metered data add nothing. Units are decimal (1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes) and the commercial day is the UTC calendar day.
Why activate Community+ if Community Edition is already free?
Community+ is the intentional registration and activation step between anonymous Community adoption and paid Standard use. It costs nothing and renews annually, and activating it removes the local rate limiter and the 15-job maximum, raises the observed volume entitlement to 1 TB/day, and raises connector scope from Community's 3 active sources and 2 active destinations to 7 sources and 5 destinations under the current offer.
What does "no licensed limit" actually mean?
It describes the commercial software entitlement, not infinite technical capacity or a service level. Capacity remains bounded by your deployed infrastructure and supported architecture. Third-party or AI consumption, hosted and managed services, professional services, and contractual SLAs may be priced separately without becoming product-feature gates.
Do upgrades require replatforming?
No. Jobs, Workers, routing rules, and transformations all carry forward. Moving up the ladder changes your commercial entitlement, not your pipeline design.
How is Standard Edition priced?
Standard starts at $50k per year for 1 TB/day of committed volume and scales with your commitment. Contact the LyftData team for a quote matched to your volume.
