Bigeye Pricing: $45,000 for 100 Tables, $75,000 for 300, and the Cost per Table

Bigeye publishes no price on bigeye.com, but it publishes the same two packages on two cloud marketplaces: a Starter Package at $45,000.00 a year for 100 Active Monitored Tables and an Enterprise Starter Package at $75,000.00 a year for 300, each including two Core Lineage Plus connectors and the browser extension. Read from the live AWS Marketplace and Microsoft Marketplace listings on 15 September 2026, and identical on both. That works out to $450 per monitored table per year at the entry package and $250 at the larger one, which makes Bigeye one of the few observability vendors whose cost per table can be computed from public documents.

Every other Bigeye figure on page one of Google is a review site saying "contact the vendor". The vendor's own listings say more than that, and because both packages state their entitlement in tables, the numbers can be compared directly against Monte Carlo's credit rate card and Metaplane's per-table plan. That comparison is the useful part of this page.

Bigeye pricing: the two published packages

AWS Marketplace listing prodview-w4yis4dzpm4u2 and Microsoft Marketplace listing torodatalabsinc1699291779936.bigeye (Bigeye's legal name is Toro Data Labs, Inc.), both read on 15 September 2026. Both listings offer a 12-month term only. The AWS listing states "No Refunds" as its refund policy and carries an auto-renew badge.

Three things about that table are worth more than the headline numbers.

The entitlement is stated. Most enterprise data vendors that list on a marketplace sell an undefined unit: Alation sells "units", Collibra sells one platform dimension, Monte Carlo sells a Credit with no stated size. Bigeye names a count of tables. That is what lets you divide the price and get a real per-table rate, and it is why Bigeye is the easiest vendor in this category to budget for from public information.

Tripling the tables costs 1.67 times the money. $45,000 for 100 tables and $75,000 for 300 means the marginal 200 tables cost $30,000, or $150 each, a third of the entry rate. Bigeye is priced to punish a small deployment and reward a bigger one, which is the standard enterprise shape and worth knowing before you ask for a quote at the low end.

There is nothing between 300 tables and a sales call. Two packages, both 12 months, no overage dimension on either listing. A 350-table estate has no published price. Neither does a 50-table one, which at $450 a table would still be billed as the full $45,000 Starter Package if you bought it on the marketplace.

What the packages include, and what they do not say

An Active Monitored Table is the metered unit, and the listings do not define it further. Bigeye's documentation describes monitoring as pipeline health (freshness, volume, schema) applied across the warehouse plus deeper machine-learned quality metrics on the tables that matter most, from a library of more than 70 metrics. Whether a table with only pipeline-health monitoring counts against the 100 the same way a table with ten quality metrics does is not stated on the listing. Ask.

Core Lineage Plus connectors are Bigeye's lineage integrations. The docs describe Lineage Plus as fully automated column-level lineage across transactional databases, warehouses, lakes, ETL platforms and BI tools, parsed without manual mappings, with connectors listed for Snowflake, Databricks, SQL Server, Oracle, IBM DB2 z/OS and Netezza among others. Two are bundled in both packages. A modern stack with a warehouse, dbt, and a BI tool is three systems, so the bundle covers a warehouse and one other, and the third connector is a conversation. The listings do not price additional connectors.

The browser extension is the third bundled item. It surfaces Bigeye's data-health status inside BI tools in the browser so a dashboard reader can see whether the numbers behind a chart are trustworthy without opening Bigeye. It is included at both tiers, so it does not differentiate them.

Bigeye has also repositioned itself during 2026 as an "Enterprise AI Trust platform", with runtime enforcement, information governance and guardian agents alongside the observability product. None of that appears on either marketplace listing, which still sells the observability packages only. If AI Guardian is the reason you are talking to Bigeye, expect it to be priced off-marketplace.

Bigeye cost per table against Monte Carlo, Metaplane, Sifflet and Datafold

This is the comparison that the review sites cannot make, because it needs each vendor's published meter. All figures are list, read by this site from live listings or pricing pages on the dates shown, and none is an estimate.

Read across the 100-table column and the ranking is not what the category's reputation suggests. Monte Carlo, the vendor everyone assumes is the expensive one, is $17,885 on its Scale tier for 100 monitored tables and $11,498 on Start, against Bigeye's $45,000. At 300 tables Bigeye's larger package closes most of the gap: $75,000 against Monte Carlo's $53,655. The Monte Carlo figures are the Table Monitor line only, before metric monitors, SQL validations and agents, each of which draws credits on top, so a real Monte Carlo bill for 100 well-covered tables lands higher than $17,885. But Bigeye's package is a fixed price with a stated ceiling and Monte Carlo's is a meter that grows with every monitor you enable, and that difference matters as much as the number. The full Monte Carlo rate card, bracket by bracket, is on our Monte Carlo pricing page.

Metaplane is the other per-table vendor and the natural comparison at the small end. Its pricing page caps the Pro plan at 100 monitored tables and does not print the per-table rate, but Metaplane's owner does: Datadog lists Data Observability Quality Monitoring at $16 per monitored table per month on an annual commitment, $19,200 a year for 100 tables and $57,600 for 300, which is well under both Bigeye packages. The detail is on Metaplane pricing. See Metaplane alternatives for what the Datadog acquisition changed there.

What a Bigeye contract commits you to

Both marketplace listings sell a 12-month contract and nothing shorter or longer, which has two consequences. There is no multi-year price to check, so the zero-discount pattern we keep measuring on 24 and 36 month listings (Collibra, Informatica, Anomalo, Privacera, all exactly linear) cannot be tested on Bigeye. And the annual commitment is the whole commitment: the AWS listing's refund policy is the two words "No Refunds", and the listing auto-renews. Put the renewal date on a purchase order with a reminder sixty days out, because a package that renews silently at $45,000 or $75,000 is the kind of line that surprises a finance team in month thirteen.

What is not on the listing is worth as much attention. Professional services are absent, and a 300-table rollout with lineage across two systems is a project with a kickoff, not a self-serve connection. Additional Lineage Plus connectors beyond the bundled two are unpriced. The AI Trust products are unpriced. And there is no price above 300 tables, which for a mid-size warehouse is not many tables at all. A thousand-table estate, which is a normal Snowflake account, has no published Bigeye number.

Who should buy Bigeye at these prices

Buy Bigeye if you have a bounded, high-value set of tables and you want a fixed price for watching them. Three hundred tables at $75,000 with lineage across the warehouse and one BI tool is a defensible line item for a regulated data team, and the metric library is genuinely deep. Bigeye's strength in legacy lineage, Oracle, SQL Server, DB2 on z/OS and Netezza, is also real and rare, and if your estate includes those systems the two bundled connectors may be the whole reason to shortlist it.

Look at Monte Carlo instead if the estate is large and cloud-native and you would rather pay a meter that falls sharply with scale. Beyond a few thousand tables Monte Carlo's bracketed rate card is far cheaper per table than any fixed package, and it publishes the brackets. The head-to-head is in Bigeye vs Monte Carlo.

Look at Datatrail instead if what you are actually buying is lineage and change impact rather than a monitoring program. Bigeye bundles two lineage connectors into a $45,000 monitoring package; Datatrail is the lineage. It connects to Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift or Postgres with a read-only role, parses query history and dbt artifacts into column-level lineage, and shows downstream impact analysis before a change ships, with freshness monitoring and schema change alerts on the same graph. The plans are flat, $99 to $799 a month on the pricing page, with no table count to stay under. A team that has been told $45,000 is the entry price for seeing what feeds a dashboard should know that it is the entry price for one specific product shape, not for the capability.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Bigeye cost?

$45,000 a year for the Starter Package, which covers 100 Active Monitored Tables, or $75,000 a year for the Enterprise Starter Package, which covers 300. Both include two Core Lineage Plus connectors and the browser extension, and both are published identically on AWS Marketplace and Microsoft Marketplace as 12-month contracts, read on 15 September 2026. Larger deployments, extra connectors and the AI Trust products are priced by quote.

Does Bigeye publish its pricing?

Not on bigeye.com, which has no pricing page (the URL returns a 404) and routes buyers to a demo request. It does publish two packages with real dollar amounts and stated table counts on AWS Marketplace and Microsoft Marketplace, which is more than most vendors in the category state anywhere. There is no Bigeye rate card on the US GSA schedule or the UK G-Cloud framework that we can find.

What is Bigeye's price per table?

$450 per Active Monitored Table per year on the 100-table Starter Package and $250 on the 300-table Enterprise Starter Package. The marginal 200 tables between the two packages cost $150 each. Bigeye does not publish a rate above 300 tables, so per-table cost at a thousand tables or more is only available by quote.

Is Bigeye cheaper than Monte Carlo?

Not at list for small estates. Monte Carlo's published rates put 100 monitored tables at $11,498 on its Start tier and $17,885 on Scale, against Bigeye's $45,000, and 300 tables at $34,493 to $53,655 against Bigeye's $75,000. Monte Carlo's figures cover Table Monitors only and grow with every metric monitor and agent you enable, while Bigeye's package is a fixed price, so the gap narrows on a heavily monitored estate. Above 300 tables Bigeye publishes nothing to compare.

Does Bigeye have a free trial or a free tier?

Neither listing offers a free trial, and there is no free tier on either marketplace or on bigeye.com. Evaluation runs through a demo request. Metaplane, by contrast, publishes a free plan up to 10 tables, and Datatrail offers a one-time free lineage map before a paid plan.

What does the Bigeye Enterprise Starter Package include?

300 Active Monitored Tables, two Core Lineage Plus connectors and the browser extension, for $75,000.00 on a 12-month contract. It is the same feature set as the Starter Package with three times the table capacity, and the AWS listing describes no other difference between the two.

For the rest of the category, every vendor that publishes a verifiable price anywhere is tabulated in data observability pricing, the wider field is compared in data observability tools, and Bigeye's product against the alternatives is in Bigeye alternatives.
