description: DataHub is offered in two forms. DataHub Core is the Apache 2.0 open-source data
  catalog originally created at LinkedIn — free to download, run, and modify; the cost is the
  underlying infrastructure (Kafka, Elasticsearch, MySQL/Postgres) and operator effort. DataHub
  Cloud is the commercial managed service from Acryl Data (now branded under datahub.com). DataHub
  Cloud is sold via demo / sales engagement; the company does not publish a numeric price list on
  the public site.

notes: DataHub Cloud pricing is gated behind a demo request — no public per-seat or per-asset
  prices. DataHub Core is free and open source.
