Datalore individual has two variations: Community and Professional.

Community edition provides free computation with basic machine enough to work 6 hours per work day. This should be enough for most of the people working regular hours.

Professional package for individuals is around 20 $ a month. This plan is sufficient to execute long-running tasks or utilize more powerful GPUs. You can run unlimited notebooks at the same time and create as many interactive reports as you like.

In the Professional plan you can buy more computation credits if needed.

Datalore Team subscription

In August 2023 Datalore published their fully hosted and managed Team subscription. This is best choice when you have become convinced about Datalore and start to build robust environment around your data science team.

No need to install anything. Just log in from the browser, add your team members and start analyzing the data! With annual subscription one user seat would cost 30 $ per month.

When you see the list of features, Datalore Team just looks like multiple Pro licenses. Why to pay extra?

Issues with Datalore licenses?

After signing up to the platform the very first time I received an error: No license key found.

When trying to run notebooks I got another error: Can't start the machine. For example the Plans tab was not showing in the Account settings.

The issue was fixed swiftly by Datalore customer service. The reason was that my email was tagged as a disposable one. Maybe because my email servers are not on Gmail or Outlook, but in German mailbox.org partly configured on my own.
