Last week dbt Labs decided to change the pricing of their Cloud offering. I've already analysed this in week #22.50 of the Data News. In a nutshell, dbt Cloud pricing is per seat based, which means you pay for each dbt developer. Previously for a team it was $50/month/dev and they increase to $100/month/dev, a 100% increase with a team limit of 8 devs and only one project.
