Manage credits
In order to manage your payment and billing information, you must be granted the Organization Admin role.
What are credits?
Airbyte credits are used to pay for Airbyte resources when you run a sync. Airbyte Cloud plans start at $10 per month, which includes 4 credits. Additional credits are available at $2.50 each.
If you signed up for Airbyte Cloud on or after October 31st, 2024, you are automatically enrolled in our $10/month subscription plan.
For those who signed up prior, we will reach out to you over the coming weeks to migrate you to the new plans, and you can continue to use Airbyte as usual in the interim.
Airbyte uses credits to unify pricing across multiple types of sources. You can refer to the below table to understand how pricing differs across each source.
| Source Type | Billing Type | Price | Credit Equivalent |
|---|---|---|---|
| APIs | Rows | $15 per million rows | 6 credits |
| Databases | GB | $10 per GB | 4 credits |
| Files | GB | $10 per GB | 4 credits |
| Custom sources | Rows | $15 per million rows | 6 credits |
For APIs and custom sources, most syncs will sync incrementally, so the row amount will typically be those rows added, edited, or deleted. For Full Refresh syncs, every row synced will be charged.
For Databases and File sources, Airbyte measures the data volume observed by the Airbyte Platform during the sync to determine data volumes. When the data is in transit, it is serialized to Airbyte Protocol format records. This is likely to be a larger representation of your data than you would see if you were to query your database directly, and varies depending on how your database stores and compresses data.
Start a Trial
To begin a trial of Airbyte Cloud, head to https://cloud.airbyte.com/signup. Your trial will only begin after your first successful sync. Trials last 14 days or when 400 trial credits are used, whichever occurs first.
If you need additional trial credits or time to evaluate Airbyte, please reach out to our Sales team.
Add Payment Details
To continue using Airbyte beyond your trial, we require a valid payment method on file. We currently only accept credit card. If you prefer ACH, please Talk to Sales.
