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. They literally have two ways of getting data loaded in. It can be done either via the API or via a bulk load, and there's a way for them to read from Kafka, but instead of having to stream to Kafka, if you want to get it in or set up a batch file interface, your choices are limited as to how to integrate. So, you end up going to vendors like CData and buying their Data Sync application to be able to get data out of, for instance, an Oracle database, or natively out of Hadoop. That's what we ended up having to do because of the S3 issue. So, there are integration costs, which are not part of the core, that you might have to face.

Initially, we used the open source version to see how it works and what the support is like before committing to an enterprise license. That's why a lot of companies go for Microsoft SQL server because you buy the licenses and get the support and have a community to help you. I wouldn't say Couchbase offers good value for money.

Couchbase does have an open source version, but it has some problems for deploying in Kubernetes, so we are thinking of going with the commercial version. We estimate that it's not very expensive, however, the pricing that you can get from the account managers, e.g. the public pricing, is a bit expensive.
For the cloud-based solution, there are a number of options available when it comes to the frequency of license payments. You can purchase a license monthly, quarterly, and annually. Since our project includes IoT from another solution this pricing model could be complicated for us. The price of this solution is better than some of the other competitors.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten for pricing as it is affordable.
