  Deep Lake is dual-natured. The core `deeplake` Python SDK, TQL engine, and
  data format are open source under Apache-2.0 and free to use against your own
  storage (local, S3, Azure, GCP). The managed Activeloop Cloud / Managed Tensor
  Database is a hosted, usage-priced service with a free Basic tier, a
  pay-as-you-go Scale tier, and a custom Enterprise tier. Published cloud rates
  observed include roughly $23 per TB/month storage, $0.15-$0.3375/hour compute,
  and data transfer from ~$0.09/GB. Tier limits and rates change frequently and
  are not reconciled here.
notes: >-
  Open-source Deep Lake (SDK + TQL + format) is Apache-2.0 and free. Managed
  cloud pricing was moved from activeloop.ai/pricing to deeplake.ai/pricing;
  verify current tiers, storage caps, compute, and transfer rates there during
  reconciliation.

    The open-source `deeplake` Python SDK, Tensor Query Language engine, and
    Deep Lake data format under Apache-2.0. Free to use against local or
    self-managed cloud storage (S3, Azure, GCP); you pay only your own storage
    and compute costs.
