Soda sells three data quality plans: Free, Team and Enterprise. Its data contract engine, Soda Core, ships separately as open source packages with a CLI and Python API, and can connect to Soda Cloud.

| Plan | Published price | Positioned for |
|---|---|---|
Free | $0 per month; no credit card required | Small projects |
Team | $750 per month, plus pay as you go for additional SPUs | Data engineering teams |
Enterprise | Custom pricing; annual billing and volume discounts available | Business collaboration |
Soda Core (open source) | Open source packages on public PyPI, installed per data source (for example soda-postgres) | Running contract checks locally or inside pipelines (Airflow, Dagster, Prefect) |
Which plan fits
Checks in code only. Soda Core lets you write contracts in YAML and verify them on PostgreSQL, Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, DuckDB and more, with 50+ built-in checks. Soda Cloud adds central management and anomaly detection monitoring.
Trying Soda Cloud. The Soda Core README says a free Soda Cloud account for evaluation gives access for up to three datasets, so pick the datasets that matter most for the trial.
A whole engineering team. Team is the first plan with unlimited users and catalog integrations.
Business users, governance or SSO. Collaborative data contracts, the no-code interface, SSO, RBAC and private deployment are listed only under Enterprise.

How the bill works
Free lists free Soda Processing Units (SPUs). On Team, adding users does not change the $750 per month price, because the plan lists unlimited users; what changes the Team bill is additional SPUs, which are pay as you go, and any add-ons you take, which Team lists as available.
Costs to watch
Compute in your environment. To verify contracts remotely through Soda Cloud, you configure a Soda Runner (formerly Soda Agent) in your own environment, so it runs on infrastructure you operate.
Failed-record storage. Soda says all failed records, from contracts or anomaly detection, are stored in your data warehouse of choice, and that data stays in your cloud. Which plan includes this is unclear, so confirm it with Soda.
Soda Core setup. The open source packages need Python 3.9 to 3.12 and UV or pip 21.0+, and v4 package names differ from the legacy v3 soda-core-{data source} packages.
Our take
If engineers write your checks and run them in pipelines, start with Soda Core or the Free plan, and move to Team when more people need Soda Cloud. If business users must edit contracts, or you need SSO, plan for an Enterprise quote from the start.
