Hey everyone, I just noticed an additional dataset on one of my projects on the growth plan. I didn't add this in and it states it was created by unknown. Will this charge me the $999/month for an additional dataset?

I understand your concern about seeing an unexpected dataset on your Growth plan project. Here's what you need to know:

Based on the official Growth plan documentation, the Growth plan includes 2 datasets by default as part of your base subscription at $15 per seat per month. These two datasets are included in your plan cost.

However, I cannot find documentation that specifically addresses datasets "created by unknown" or explains whether certain system-generated datasets exist and are exempt from billing. The official pricing information doesn't mention the specific $999/month figure you referenced for additional datasets on the Growth plan.

Here's what the documentation confirms:

  • Growth plan includes 2 datasets (can be private or public)
  • Enterprise plan supports custom numbers of datasets with custom pricing
  • The Growth plan has optional add-ons, but none are listed at $999/month for additional datasets

What you should do immediately:

Since this dataset appeared without your action and shows "created by unknown," you need to get official clarification to avoid billing surprises:

  1. Check your billing in Manage to see if any charges have already appeared
  2. Contact Sanity's billing support at sanity.io/contact/billing to ask specifically about:
    • What created this dataset
    • Whether it counts against your 2-dataset quota
    • Whether there will be any charges associated with it
    • If it's a system dataset that's necessary for your project

Don't rely on assumptions about whether this will or won't be charged. Get direct confirmation from Sanity's support team so you have clarity on your billing and can make informed decisions about your project.

How can I tell?

and if it is enabled does the additional dataset get charged at the $999/month rate?
I dug deeper into the docs and found that the dataset is complementary - https://www.sanity.io/docs/configuring-comments
Yes, comments are stored in a separate dataset that don’t count toward your quota 🙂
