Coralogix

  • No self-hosted option; cloud-only SaaS requiring use of customer's AWS, Azure, or GCP infrastructure
  • Pricing is purely usage-based per GB with no flat-rate subscription option; suitable for unpredictable workloads but no cost ceiling

Couchbase

  • The free tier is a single node with 8 GB of storage and forum support only
  • Node rates are hourly and quoted as starting figures, from $0.15 an hour on Basic to $0.49 on Enterprise
  • The Developer Pro and Enterprise plans require 3 nodes, so the hourly rate multiplies before any usage
  • Backup storage is billed separately at $0.07 per GB a month, and analytics backups at $0.14
  • Support response time is a plan feature, at 8 hours on Developer Pro against 30 minutes on Enterprise
  • AI and analytics run as separately priced planes at up to $0.86 an hour per node
