Manage License

Bytebase offers 3 pricing plans: Free, Pro, Enterprise.

Plan	Deployment	Users	Pricing
Free	Self-host or Cloud	Up to 20	Free
Pro	Cloud only	Unlimited	$20/user/month
Enterprise	Self-host or Cloud	Custom	Custom

Pro plan is cloud-only. Self-hosted deployments require an Enterprise license. Existing Pro self-host licenses are grandfathered. Self-hosted Free instances can start a 14-day Enterprise trial.

Running more than one self-hosted Bytebase replica requires HA to be enabled in the license. If multiple replicas are detected without HA enabled, Bytebase disables backend runners for safety. As a result, background operations such as rollout task execution, plan checks, schema sync, and other scheduled runners will stop progressing until you scale back to a single replica or enable HA in the license.

Configure Workspace License

Go to Settings > Subscription, paste your license and click Upload License.

Configure Instance License

Some features (e.g. Dynamic Data Masking) require assigning license quota to individual instances. Enterprise-wide features like SSO work without per-instance assignment.

You can assign instance licenses from:

1. The instance page — assign/unassign directly on each instance.

   

2. Settings > Subscription — click the instance area or edit icon to open the license drawer, tick the instances, and click Confirm.

   

3. Gated feature prompts — when you encounter a feature requiring a license, click the Assign License button in the popup.

   

To reduce costs, license only the instances that need advanced features (e.g., production only).
