description: >-
  MyScale Cloud uses a tiered, pod-based model. A free Development tier provides
  a single cluster sized for storing roughly 5 million 768-dimensional vectors,
  auto-terminated after a period of inactivity. The paid Standard tier bills by
  provisioned pod (capacity-optimized and performance pods) plus storage, with
  capacity-optimized pods starting around $68 per pod per month on AWS, and an
  Enterprise tier adds dedicated deployments and negotiated terms. The
  underlying MyScaleDB engine is open source under Apache-2.0 and can be
  self-hosted at no license cost.
notes: >-
  Pod prices vary by cloud, region, pod size, and replica count; the free
  Development tier limits and inactivity-based termination behavior change over
  time. Verify current numbers and the full pod matrix on the MyScale pricing
  page and the Price Estimator during reconciliation.

  description: >-
    Free single-cluster tier for evaluation and small workloads. Supports
    storage on the order of 5 million 768-dimensional vectors. The cluster is
    terminated after an inactivity period (with data deleted), and only one
    development cluster is allowed.

  description: >-
    Paid, usage-based tier billed per provisioned pod plus storage. Includes
    capacity-optimized pods (cost-efficient, larger vector capacity) and
    performance pods, with size and replica options for scaling throughput and
    high availability.
