Harness Database DevOps: Subscription Plans
Harness Database DevOps provides flexible subscription plans designed to scale with your database deployment needs. Harness offers two primary licensing tiers: Free Tier and Enterprise.
- If You Require More Than 4 Database Instances or 2 Users: You must upgrade to an Enterprise plan.
- Enterprise Plans scale based on the number of Database Instances (preferred metric), providing clear, predictable pricing that grows with your usage.
Free Tier
The Free plan is ideal for small teams experimenting with Harness Database DevOps. It provides limited access to core features and allows you to validate the platform before scaling.

| Free Trial | Matches free trial duration of other Harness products |
The Free Tier will only be available when the Self-Managed Platform Free and Team GA stage is released.
