Opinions on the pricing and licensing for StreamSets are mixed. Some users find it affordable and cost-effective, while others consider it expensive, particularly for small businesses. Some suggest the pricing should be more flexible, depending on the intended use of the software. There are different versions and plans available, including a free trial and open-source options. The licensing cost varies from customer to customer, and some users feel the pricing could be improved for small and mid-size organizations.

• "The licensing is expensive, and there are other costs involved too. I know from using the software that you have to buy new features whenever there are new updates, which I don't really like. But initially, it was very good."
• "It's not expensive because you pay per month, and the tasks you can perform with it are huge. It's reliable and cost-effective."
• "Its pricing is pretty much up to the mark. For smaller enterprises, it could be a big price to pay at the initial stage of operations, but the moment you have the Seed B or Seed C funding and you want to scale up your operations and aren't much worried about the funds, at that point in time, you would need a solution that could be scaled."
