description: >-
  TigerBeetle has two consumption models. The database itself is open source
  (Apache 2.0, no CLAs) and free to self-host as a replicated cluster on your
  own infrastructure - there is no license fee and no per-operation charge; cost
  is your own compute, storage, and network. TigerBeetle also offers a fully
  managed service (cross-cloud deployments with automated disaster recovery and
  24/7 monitoring) plus enterprise support, currently offered to select partners
  and engaged by contacting sales@tigerbeetle.com. There is no published,
  self-service, per-unit price for the managed service, and there is no HTTP/API
  metering because access is via the binary-protocol client libraries rather
  than billed HTTP calls.
notes: >-
  No public pricing table exists for the managed/enterprise service as of the
  review date; it is contact-sales. A startup program is referenced. Verify
  current terms directly with TigerBeetle during reconciliation.

    The full TigerBeetle financial transactions database, Apache 2.0 licensed
    and self-hostable in production as a replicated cluster on Linux. Includes
    all client libraries (.NET, Go, Java, Node.js, Python, Ruby, Rust) and all
    operations (accounts, single-phase and two-phase transfers, balances,
    queries). No license fee and no per-operation charge; throughput is bounded
    only by your own hardware.
