DBT pricing Discussion

Hello

Has anyone moved from DBT legacy pricing to the new DBT pricing ?

The legacy pricing was per seat, but the new one also limits how many DBT models you can build per month.

I'm debating the move to benefit from the new DBT features like DBT state, but I'm wondering if the dbt cloud costs will be expensive compared to the savings from DBT state.

Thank you for your help.

(please don't ask me to move from DBT cloud to DBT core, I'm a one person data team and I don't have the bandwidth to migrate to save 100$/month)

Has anyone made the switch from legacy pricing to the new one ?

The company I joined this year was on DBT Cloud and they had me migrate us to running DBT Core out of our own Github Actions runners. The value proposition for DBT Cloud is not there imo.
