Feature availability

Most of Lightdash is available to everyone. This page maps the features that aren’t — what each one needs, and where it’s documented. Availability is a separate question from maturity: a feature can be Beta and Enterprise-only, or GA and available to everybody. This page covers only who can reach a feature. For prices, see lightdash.com/pricing.

​

Availability levels

Anything not listed on this page is available to every Lightdash user on every plan — including dbt write-back from the Custom Metric and SQL Runner menus, which is gated by project role rather than by plan.

​

AI features

The AI add-on covers most of this section, and some features need an Enterprise plan on top of it. The badges say what each one takes.

​

Administration and governance

Google Workspace SSO is available on every plan — see the provider matrix for the full breakdown.

Turning features on

On Lightdash Cloud, plan features are active as soon as your plan includes them. A few need an organization admin to switch them on — Issues and the Metrics SQL API — and a few are enabled by the Lightdash team on request, including results caching, thread retention, and embedding. On a self-hosted instance, every Enterprise feature needs two things: a valid LIGHTDASH_LICENSE_KEY on all containers, and that feature’s own environment flag. The key alone enables nothing. Enterprise features covers both, with a dedicated setup page for the larger ones — AI agents, data apps, AI writeback, MCP, and pre-aggregates.
