Hidden Costs and Considerations
While the pricing page provides clear information on costs, there are some hidden considerations to keep in mind:
- Data storage: MotherDuck's free tier includes 1 GB of data storage, while Pro plans offer unlimited storage. However, excessive data usage may incur additional costs.
- Integration costs: While MotherDuck offers pre-built integrations with popular tools, custom integrations may require additional development or consulting services.
- Support and training: Priority support is included in the Team plan, but standard support is only available for Pro users. Additional training or onboarding services may be required for larger teams.
