description: >-
  ParadeDB Community (the pg_search and pg_analytics extensions) is open source
  under AGPL-3.0 and free to self-host. Enterprise features (read replicas, high
  availability, partitioned indexes, security, hot-standby search) are licensed
  commercially. ParadeDB also offers a fully managed cloud (referenced around
  $0.193/hour) and a bring-your-own-cloud (BYOC) deployment. Enterprise and
  cloud pricing is sales-led and not publicly itemized, so this artifact is not
  reconciled.
notes: >-
  Pricing is not consistently published; the managed-cloud hourly figure and
  enterprise terms should be verified with ParadeDB sales during reconciliation.
