Y42 pricing guide details
Pricing Overview
Y42’s official pricing page says users can start building for their data warehouse at zero cost and unlock advanced features as needed; it does not label that entry as a Free Trial or specify the features or limits included with it.
The Business plan starts from $500 per month and includes 2 spaces and 3 users. It includes a browser-based UI and Code IDE, declarative orchestration and scheduling, native Git and data-warehouse integrations, and SQL/dbt Core and Python assets. Buyers should confirm the applicable billing terms and any requirements beyond the included spaces and users.
The Enterprise plan is listed as Custom. It includes everything in Business plus unlimited spaces, data-developer pull requests, time travel for data, an SLA, SSO using Okta, SCIM and OAuth, audit logging, and SQL-based ingestion. The supplied evidence does not list a public Enterprise price.
Y42 also lists an ingestion add-on, with hosted connectors powered by cData or Python ingestion for custom sources, starting from $15 per million rows ingested. Buyers should confirm the applicable ingestion volume, connector, and billing details.
Plan Comparison
The supplied official pricing shows a zero-cost starting point, a Business plan, and an Enterprise offering. It does not label the zero-cost starting point as freemium or provide a plan name, feature list, or usage limits for it.
| Plan or offering | Pricing shown | Included details shown |
|---|---|---|
| Zero-cost starting point | Zero cost | The page says users can start building for their data warehouse at zero cost and unlock advanced features as needed; no specific included features are listed. |
| Business | From $500 per month | Two spaces and three users; browser-based UI and Code IDE; declarative orchestrator and scheduler; native Git and data-warehouse integrations; SQL/dbt Core and Python assets. |
| Enterprise | Custom | Everything in Business plus additional collaboration and data-quality-assurance features; unlimited spaces; pull requests for data developers; data time travel; SLA; SSO using Okta, SCIM and OAuth; audit logging; SQL-based ingestion. |
Y42 also lists an ingestion add-on starting from $15 per million rows ingested. The add-on provides pre-built hosted connectors powered by cData or Python ingestion for custom sources.
The supplied page does not state which Business features carry additional conditions, what Enterprise pricing or licensing terms are, or how the zero-cost starting point is limited. Buyers should confirm those details, as well as the expected ingestion volume and connector needs, before choosing an offering.
Hidden Costs and Considerations
The $500/mo Business plan includes only 3 users., which adds up quickly for growing teams. A team of 10 would pay $605/mo just on Y42 licensing before factoring in data warehouse costs.
Y42 runs on top of your existing cloud data warehouse, so compute and storage costs from providers like BigQuery or Snowflake are entirely separate. Data ingestion add-ons using pre-built connectors (powered by cData) may carry additional costs. Annual vs. monthly billing differences are not publicly documented, so we recommend asking about annual discounts during procurement. Also keep in mind that Y42 requires familiarity with SQL, dbt Core, and Python to get full value from the platform, so factor in onboarding time if your team is new to these technologies.
Cost Estimates by Team Size
| Team Size | Monthly Cost | Annual Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1-3 users (solo/small) | $500 | $6,000 |
| 5 users | $530 | $6,360 |
| 10 users | $605 | $7,260 |
| 20 users | $755 | $9,060 |
These estimates cover Y42 platform costs only. Cloud data warehouse costs (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift) will be your largest variable expense and scale with data volume, query frequency, and transformation complexity. For teams of 20+, the Enterprise plan with its unlimited spaces and custom pricing is likely more cost-effective.
How Y42 Pricing Compares
Y42’s supplied official pricing presents a zero-cost starting point for building for a data warehouse, with advanced features unlocked as needed. It does not label this approach as freemium or name the zero-cost option as a plan.
The listed paid offering is Business, starting from $500 per month. It includes two spaces and three users, along with a browser-based UI and Code IDE, a declarative orchestrator and scheduler, native Git and data-warehouse integrations, and SQL/dbt Core and Python assets.
Y42 also lists an Enterprise offering with custom pricing. Enterprise includes everything in Business plus additional collaboration and data-quality-assurance features, including unlimited spaces, data-developer pull requests, data time travel, an SLA, SSO using Okta, SCIM and OAuth, audit logging, and SQL-based ingestion.
For ingestion, Y42 lists an add-on with pre-built hosted connectors powered by cData or Python ingestion for custom sources, starting from $15 per million rows ingested. Buyers should confirm which Business features, Enterprise capabilities, and ingestion requirements apply to their expected deployment; the supplied pricing does not state the pricing basis beyond the displayed monthly and per-million-rows terms or provide Enterprise pricing details.
