One of the main benefits we hear from people using dbt Cloud is the IDE + scheduler. The price increase can make that main benefit a bit less palatable, especially when you can develop locally and orchestrators allow you to run more than just dbt itself.

If you're looking for a way to quickly automate dbt Core, our team at Shipyard (low-code, cloud-hosted orchestration) recently built out some guides to start running dbt Core in the Cloud for all of the major databases. Plus, you gain the ability to connect to other tools in your data stack, run Python scripts alongside dbt, and still not worry about infra.
