Pricing and ROI

Source Of Truth

Always verify current numbers, plan limits, and feature entitlements against the live public pricing page before answering.
If the MotherDuck MCP ask_docs_question feature is available, use it first for pricing-related documentation lookups.
Use the live pricing, Hypertenancy, and Trust & Security pages for exact commercial framing.

Do not hardcode pricing numbers unless you have verified them in the current turn.
When quoting numbers, include the verification date and the public source you checked.
For estimates and comparisons, separate storage, compute, and operational overhead. A narrow price lookup needs only the relevant verified rate and conditions.
Map workload shape to cost shape before comparing vendors or plans.
Treat many pricing questions as risk, predictability, or procurement questions rather than purely technical ones.
Verify plan-sensitive entitlements such as Flight scheduling/runtime limits, custom roles, table-level security, regions, and embedded features in the current turn; do not infer them from an older release note.
