My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it can be a bit expensive for startups, but for my organization, the cost is affordable and cost-effective.
Using it for analytical purposes can be cost-effective in the long run, especially in terms of infrastructure. While building an on-premise cluster incurs an initial cost for servers with ample RAM, it becomes a one-time investment with subsequent maintenance handled internally. For cloud deployments, the cost may be relatively higher due to instances offering lower RAM. Opting for higher RAM in cloud instances increases the per-server cost. However, it's important to note that this is a one-time expenditure, and maintenance becomes more straightforward.

The pricing is available on the website, www.singlestore.com/pr.... They have two main options: cloud installation and bare-metal installation, each with different pricing models. For cloud services, they offer three tiers: Standard, Premium, and Dedicated. Standard starts at just $0.80 per hour. This is for the standard cloud service. Now, for self-managed on-premises clusters, they provide free licensing up to four units. If you need premium features or enterprise support, like direct access to their support team, you'd need to purchase their enterprise license. For specific pricing on those, I recommend contacting their sales team directly.
I would advise users to try the free 128GB version. MemSQL also comes with "Cluster-in-a-box", which allows you to run it on a single instance. This is a great way to save money and get your hands dirty, until you need to scale bigger.

The setup cost was surprisingly good, and our transfer to Helios was almost seamless, as far as databases go, and it was not expensive.
I cannot share much about how SingleStore is deployed due to company policy.

The product's licensing is not expensive. It is comparable.
