The pricing for Cassandra is a little bit high, so it would be better for our community services if they consider community pricing for any non-profit organization like an NGO or other things. It would be better to have enterprise-level features in our community edition, which could support our future development for global community development.

For us, the key component on the developer side is that it's very easy. We are doing so instead of managing servers, we have used our on-premise installations. The cost for us is negligible.
In the UAE or in the Gulf region, you're required to buy from a local vendor so prices will vary from vendor to vendor and region to region. We have a monthly license and you can generally bargain for a better price.
