Dagster OSS vs Dagster+

[raayu83]

Hello,

is there any webpage listing the differences between Dagster OSS and Dagster+?
While I'd really like to contribute to Dagster+ by requesting a commercial license, it would probably be easier to get adoption started with the OSS edition and possibly switch to Dagster+ later.
But for that I'd need to know if all essential features are supported.

Best regards

Dagster+ will have all the features available in Open Source plus more. This page describes those features. This page in the official documentation gives a summary of the two Dagster+ deployment types and links to further reading for more technical-oriented details.

For commercial discussions please use this form to be in contact with our sales team.

@garethbrickman Thought about this again and decided against pursuing adoption of dagster due to the current intransparencies regarding pricing/features.

Hey @raayu83, there is no "intransparency" intended here. Dagster+ will have all the features available in Open Source plus more. If there's any specific concern I can help address please let me know! Alternatively our Sales team can discuss your commercial needs with you privately.

Hey @garethbrickman,

what I mean be intransparency is the following:

• There is no page highlighting Dagster+ only features vs open source features
• There are no examples on how many credits a typical ETL would consume, also see Dagster+ Pricing for example ETL #25316 regarding this

[garethbrickman]

There is information available for both those to an extent at: https://dagster.io/pricing

As the user below indicated, the table of features there shows Dagster+ features per plan type but not open source. I agree it can be worthwhile to have a column showing the open source features for comparison, I'll let our marketing team know that feedback.

There is also a Pricing FAQ on that page which includes a description and example of credit usage measurement.

Hi @garethbrickman ,
thanks for bringing this topic to the marketing team! It would really help a lot with transparency!

Regarding the Pricing FAQ, the example there is a really simple one. If my calculation the the linked discussion is correct, the credits needed can explode quickly, especially if you recalculate historic partitions on a daily basis. So I am kind of hoping my calculation is wrong...

I'd like to cast my vote here, too. I have been searching for a page like these:

• https://cloudsmith.com/pricing
• https://tailscale.com/pricing
• https://www.prefect.io/pricing

I'd definitely be able to justify the need to buy a license internally, but I don't even understand if I need one yet. This doesn't even have to include the actual amounts (even though I'd prefer that), but a feature breakdown is tremendously helpful.
Don't take this as anything but feedback from a potential customer; I'm very interested in Dagster as a product.

Dagster+ has such a page: https://dagster.io/pricing

But to be clear, you want to see the Dagster+ only features highlighted vs open source features?

Our team want to see the Dagster+ only vs. open source features. Just like Prefect does: https://www.prefect.io/cloud-vs-oss

The Dagster pricing page doesn't explain it well enough.
