Licensing & Tiers

Data Workers is available in three tiers: a free open-source Community edition, a Pro tier for teams that need write operations, and an Enterprise tier for large-scale deployments.

Community Edition (Free)

The Community edition is fully open source under the Apache 2.0 license. It includes all 15 agents with read-only tools — diagnostics, analysis, discovery, and recommendations. There are no artificial limits, no time restrictions, and no feature gates on read operations.

• •15 agents — All agents included, operating in read-only mode
• •155+ MCP tools — Full diagnostic and analytical tool suite
• •15 catalog connectors — Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift, dbt, Airflow, Dagster, Prefect, and more
• •InMemory stubs — Works out of the box with no external infrastructure
• •BYO LLM — Use Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama, or any LLM provider
• •Self-hosted — Runs entirely on your machine, no data leaves your environment
• •Community support — GitHub Issues and Discord

Pro ($500/workspace/month)

Pro unlocks write operations — agents can execute actions, not just recommend them. This is the key difference: Community agents observe, analyze, and recommend. Pro agents do the work.

• •Write tools enabled — Deploy pipelines, apply schema changes, execute remediations, trigger workflows
• •25 enterprise connectors — Orchestration, alerting, streaming, cost management, identity, observability, quality, BI, and ITSM integrations
• •Approval workflows — Configure which actions require human approval before execution
• •Audit trails — Full audit log of every agent action
• •Email support — Direct support channel

What Pro write tools look like in practice:

• •Pipeline Agent (Pro): Generate new pipelines from natural language, deploy fixes, manage DAG modifications
• •Schema Agent (Pro): Execute migration scripts, apply schema changes across environments
• •Quality Agent (Pro): Auto-generate and enforce quality rules, remediate data issues
• •Governance Agent (Pro): Apply access policies, execute PII remediation, enforce retention rules
• •Incident Agent (Pro): Execute automated remediation runbooks, restart failed tasks, apply hotfixes

Enterprise (Custom Pricing)

Enterprise includes everything in Pro plus deployment flexibility, security certifications, and dedicated support.

• •Custom agent development — Build agents tailored to your workflows
• •SSO / SAML — Okta, Azure AD, OAuth 2.1 integration
• •Multi-tenant isolation — Team-level data and access separation
• •VPC and on-premise deployment — Run within your own infrastructure
• •Dedicated support with SLAs — Guaranteed response times
• •Compliance architecture — Designed to meet SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA requirements

Read-Only vs Write Tools

Every agent has both read-only and write tools. The Community edition enables all read-only tools. Pro and Enterprise enable the write tools.

Read-only tools (Community): Diagnose incidents, analyze data quality, search catalogs, trace lineage, inspect schemas, review governance policies, estimate costs, assess migration complexity, generate insights, monitor observability.

Write tools (Pro+): Deploy pipelines, apply schema changes, execute remediations, enforce policies, run migrations, restart failed tasks, create quality rules, apply access controls.

Supported Connectors by Tier

All 40 connectors (15 catalog + 25 enterprise) are listed below. Community users get full access to catalog connectors. Pro and Enterprise unlock the enterprise connectors.

How to Upgrade

To upgrade from Community to Pro, set the DW_LICENSE_KEY environment variable with your license key before starting the MCP server:

The server automatically detects the license and enables write tools. No code changes or reinstallation required. Visit the Pricing page or contact hello@dataworkers.io to obtain a license key.
