How CockroachDB pricing works
Managed CockroachDB Cloud offers a usage-based, serverless Basic tier (billed on Request Units and storage, scales to zero) with a perpetual monthly free allowance, plus provisioned, vCPU-based Standard and Advanced tiers; new sign-ups receive trial credit. Self-hosted software uses a source-available enterprise license that is free for individuals and companies below a revenue threshold and paid above it.
CockroachDB isn’t priced on a simple always-on-instance model (it’s a database, billed by storage/usage), so we don’t show a normalized monthly estimate. See the pricing model above and the provider’s page for details.
