  SurrealDB Cloud offers usage-based pricing across Start, Scale, and Enterprise
  tiers. The Start tier includes a free allowance with 1GB storage and hourly
  billing thereafter. Scale adds high-availability and horizontal scaling for
  production workloads. Enterprise provides single-tenant, private cloud, or
  self-hosted deployment with SLA-backed uptime and advanced compliance features.
  Support plans (Standard, Business Critical, Premium) are available as add-ons.
