Pricing & Licensing
Download Community Edition and run it locally with no license. Activate Community+ at no charge to lift the rate limiter and the job maximum. Move to Standard when you need committed daily volume, and to Enterprise when you need a negotiated agreement with no commercial ceiling. On every licensed edition, going over your entitlement starts a conversation, never an interruption.
Frictionless local adoption with no license and no sign-up
The registration and activation step between anonymous Community adoption and paid Standard use
Up to 3 data sources and 2 destinations
Commercial production use that scales by committed daily volume
Not another feature-unlock tier: the negotiated, no-commercial-ceiling edition

Comparison
Every edition shares the same pipeline model and Visual Editor. What changes as you move up the ladder is the commercial entitlement: daily volume, Workers, and the shape of the agreement.
| Feature | Community Edition | Community+ | Standard Edition | Enterprise Edition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| License | No license required | Licensed, no charge, renewed annually | From $50k/yr | Talk to us |
| Volume entitlement | 250 GB/day with the existing local rate limiter | 1 TB/day, observed, no product rate limiter | Starts at 1 TB/day, scales by committed TB/day | No licensed throughput limit |
| Workers | One built-in Worker | One Worker (no edge Workers) | No licensed Worker limit | No licensed Worker limit |
| Jobs | At most 15, explicitly including MCP | No job maximum | No job maximum | No job maximum |
| Features | Community feature and job shape | All generally available self-managed features | All generally available self-managed features | All generally available self-managed features |
| Over-entitlement handling | The local rate limiter is an edition boundary, not a true-up action | Observed; we reach out for an assistive true-up | Observed; we reach out for an assistive true-up | No commercial ceiling to true up against |

"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.
Shared entitlements
Jobs, Inputs, Actions, Outputs, Channels, and Worker-based execution are the foundation for every pipeline in every edition.
The same UI for building, editing, and reviewing Jobs, whether or not you hold a license.
Validate and inspect pipeline behavior with sample data before you push changes into production.
Filtering, masking, normalization, parsing, enrichment, and routing across all four editions.
The metered quantity is the workflow input observed when a workflow begins. Units are decimal, so 1 TB means 1,000,000,000,000 bytes, and the commercial day is the UTC calendar day.
Your usage is observed and shown back to you: current entitlement, volume by the same unit and window we use commercially, trend, forecast, and evidence freshness. It is the same evidence LyftData uses.
Moving up the ladder
Activation and upgrades change your commercial entitlement, not your architecture. And if you outgrow the entitlement you hold, we handle it as a conversation about the evidence, not as an action against your deployment.
What Community+ activation changes
What Standard adds
How we handle over-use
Licensing model
Your Jobs, Workers, routing logic, and transformations stay the same across editions. Moving up raises the daily volume and Worker entitlement on your license; you don't rebuild pipelines or migrate to a different product.
Same pipelines
Identical Job definitions and Visual Editor experience as you scale.
Observed, not policed
Licensed editions record volume at workflow start for evidence. There is no product rate limiter above Community Edition.
Assistive true-up
A sustained mismatch starts an outreach and review with the same evidence you can see, and your operations keep running throughout.
Pricing FAQ
Nothing stops. On a licensed edition, going over your entitlement never stops, throttles, disables, undeploys, or otherwise interrupts your operations. 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.
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 scales by committed TB/day and Enterprise is negotiated; for both we discuss pricing with you directly rather than publishing a rate card.
The metered quantity is the workflow input observed when a workflow begins. Transformations, filters, enrichment, fan-out, and outputs after workflow start add nothing to the meter. Units are decimal, so 1 TB means 1,000,000,000,000 bytes, and the commercial day is the UTC calendar day.
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 while raising the observed volume entitlement to 1 TB/day.
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.
No. Jobs, Workers, routing rules, and transformations all carry forward. Moving up the ladder changes your commercial entitlement, not your pipeline design.
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.
