description: >-
  Databricks pricing as the provider publishes it. This file replaces a
  2026-05-04 scaffold that invented Free / Professional / Enterprise tiers with
  monthly API-request quotas and per-request overage — none of which Databricks
  sells. Databricks does not price API requests at all: it prices consumption in
  DBUs, billed per second, pay-as-you-go. Declarative Automation Bundles
  themselves carry no charge; the CLI and the bundle configuration surface are
  free, and cost is incurred by whatever compute the deployed jobs, pipelines
  and endpoints consume.
billing_model:
  unit: DBU (Databricks Unit)
  unit_definition: >-
    "a normalized unit of processing power on the Databricks Lakehouse Platform
    used for measurement and pricing purposes"
  model: pay-as-you-go, no upfront cost
  granularity: per second
  api_request_pricing: false
  cloud_costs_separate: true
  cloud_costs_note: >-
    "If you configure Databricks to work with your own cloud account, you will
    still be charged by your cloud provider for resources."
plans:
  - id: databricks-free-edition
    name: Free Edition
    type: free
    price: '0.00'
    currency: USD
    billingPeriod: none
    url: https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/getting-started/free-edition
    description: >-
      A permanent no-cost Databricks workspace "designed for students,
      educators, hobbyists, and anyone interested in learning or experimenting."
      Serverless only and quota limited. Bundles can be deployed into it.
    limits:
      quota: >-
        "serverless-only, quota-limited" — specific quota numbers live on a
        separate Free Edition limitations page and are not restated here.
    overage: null
  - id: databricks-free-trial
    name: Free trial
    type: trial
    price: '0.00'
    currency: USD
    billingPeriod: trial
    url: https://www.databricks.com/try-databricks
    description: >-
      Free access to the Databricks Data + AI Platform. The pricing page does
      not state the trial length, so none is recorded here.
    limits: null
    overage: null
  - id: databricks-pay-as-you-go
    name: Pay-as-you-go
    type: usage-based
    price: null
    currency: USD
    billingPeriod: per-second
    url: https://www.databricks.com/product/pricing
    description: >-
      Consumption billing in DBUs at per-second granularity, priced per product
      and per cloud. The pricing page references a separate Price List rather
      than displaying per-DBU dollar figures inline, so no per-DBU rate is
      recorded here.
    limits:
      included_quota: none
    overage: >-
      Not applicable — there is no included quota to exceed; every DBU consumed
      is billed.
  - id: databricks-committed-use
    name: Committed Use Contract
    type: enterprise
    price: custom
    currency: USD
    billingPeriod: contract
    url: https://www.databricks.com/product/pricing
    description: >-
      Discounts in exchange for committing to a usage level. The page states
      "Contact us for details" — pricing is sales-gated.
    limits: null
    overage: null
notes:
  - >-
    No Databricks plan meters, quotas or prices API requests, so the API Commons
    `entries[]` quota/rate shape is deliberately left empty rather than filled
    with invented numbers. The real runtime ceilings are per-workspace request
    rates and live in rate-limits/databricks-asset-bundles-rate-limits.yml.
