For their use case, my client wanted a "certified" version that they would forget to administrate, and so, for the main database, they chose the serverless offer. For experimenting in-house they like to use the freely downloadable open source version, which is very easy to install. The price is irresistible, and if some crash happens there is a reliable backup in the cloud.

I am not very familiar with the pricing as I am now only in the experimental phase.

The pricing is good but can be made cheaper. I would rate the pricing a five out of ten.
I've used CockroachDB at a small scale on the free accounts because we are only testing.
