Manage your subscription

This article describes how to manage your billing, subscription level, as well as how to cancel your subscription and delete your account. Only the Databricks account administrators can manage a Databricks subscription.

Manage billing

The way you manage billing depends on the type of business relationship you have with Databricks and whether your created your account through AWS Marketplace or the Databricks website.

Note

Your account’s billing method is permanent and cannot be changed after you sign up for your account.

Pay-as-you-go accounts through AWS Marketplace

If you subscribed to Databricks using AWS Marketplace, your Databricks charges appear alongside your other AWS costs. To manage your payment methods, use the AWS console.

Contract accounts

If you have a contract with Databricks, Databricks has your billing information on file.

Upgrade your subscription

Databricks has multiple pricing plans. By default, new accounts are on the Premium plan, which adds audit logging, role-based access control, and other features that give you more control over security, governance, and more. If you don’t know your current plan, account admins can view it in the account console under Subscription and Billing.

If your current plan is no longer meeting all of your organization’s needs, you can upgrade to the Enterprise plan. The instructions for upgrading your account are different for pay-as-you-go accounts and contract accounts.

Note

Access control settings are disabled by default on workspaces that are upgraded from the Standard plan to the Premium plan or above. Once an access control setting is enabled, it can not be disabled. For more information, see Access controls lists can be enabled on upgraded workspaces.
