motherduck-pricing-roi
Pricing and ROI
Use this skill when the user is asking whether MotherDuck is financially sensible for their workload, team, or project. This is a workflow skill focused on cost framing, not implementation detail.
Source Of Truth
- Always verify current numbers, plan limits, and feature entitlements against the live public pricing page before answering.
- If the MotherDuck MCP
ask_docs_questionfeature is available, use it first for pricing-related documentation lookups. - Use the live pricing, Hypertenancy, and Trust & Security pages for exact commercial framing.
Default Posture
- Do not hardcode pricing numbers unless you have verified them in the current turn.
- When quoting numbers, include the verification date and the public source you checked.
- Separate storage, compute, and operational complexity in every answer.
- Map workload shape to cost shape before comparing vendors or plans.
- Treat many pricing questions as risk, predictability, or procurement questions rather than purely technical ones.
