Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The price of this solution is better than some of the other competitors."
  • "We estimate that it's not very expensive, however, the pricing that you can get from the account managers, e.g. the public pricing, could be a bit expensive."
  • "I wouldn't say Couchbase offers good value for money."
  • "It seems very reasonable. It's a lot cheaper than Redis, but we've got an enterprise license. So, it's about normal. It's not outrageous in price as far as we've seen. From Couchbase, there's no additional fee as far as I'm aware, but when you're integrating, there's an additional fee because a lot of times, they don't have an integration stack."
  • "I would rate this solution a nine out of ten for pricing as it is affordable."
