Subscription and billing: Directly or via AWS?

[staskh]

Is there any difference in price & features if I subscribe to DataBricks directly or via AWS account?
Any startup discount programs available?

Hi @staskh,

Direct Subscription: If you subscribe directly through Databricks, you will manage billing through the Databricks account console. Payments can be made via credit card or invoicing, depending on your agreement.

AWS Marketplace Subscription: If you subscribe via AWS Marketplace, your Databricks charges will appear alongside your other AWS costs on your AWS invoice. This can simplify billing if you are already using other AWS services.

About your second question, you would need to contact an account representative to discuss about it.

Thank you for a prompt response.

Is there any difference in pricing ?

No problem, and there is no difference in the pricing between subscribing to Databricks directly or via the AWS Marketplace, it's just about billing mechanism.
