Platform and build
The platform, and building your business logic on it
The platform
Platform pricing is in the plans above. You can license the platform on its own, and our services require a license. The license and our services are separate agreements with separate bills, and your Databricks or Snowflake bill stays your own.
We price based on total cost of ownership across both capital and operating budgets. See how one customer reduced annual platform costs.
The first build
The First Mile is a scoped pilot that modernizes one slice of what you run today and compares it against your current output. Validation covers spot checks and aggregate comparisons. The production rollout comes after it, with its own scope.
On a call, we tell you whether DataForge is a fit, the likely scope, and what we need from you to start. You can also fill out a short form.
After the build
Each release moves more of the build into the product, so a later engagement covers less of it, while your platform license and support stay in place.
The tools DataForge replaces are listed on the platform page.

Pricing that scales with your business
Understanding Professional pricing
- Starts at $0/mo: Professional tier is billed on usage alone, so you pay only for what you use.
- What is a process?: A single stage of a pipeline flow. Each pipeline has 3 to 6+ processes to compute a full pipeline.
- How are processes counted?: Processes per month are calculated across all workspaces and tied to the cloud account.
- Cost visibility: Easily analyze processes for cost controls by querying the meta.process table in your DataForge workspace.
