Free tier	no free tier; Xata Cloud starts with a 14-day free trial, then pay as you go unit none; metered on none; the open-source core is free to self-host and is a different product from Xata Cloud
Price	USD 0.28/GB-month storage, micro compute USD 9/month equivalent
Limits	retention-clamped (binding) 14-day trial; the always-free 15 GB tier is retired source
Identity	card email for the trial; a credit card after it to stay on pay as you go
Egress	not published on the pricing page; recorded as a gap
Per-object cap	not applicable: the trial bills by branch-hour and GB-month rather than capping an object
Retention	the trial ends after 14 days; a credit card is required after it to keep the database (14 days)
Interface	rest, cli Postgres wire protocol plus an HTTP data API and a CLI
Tooling	psql and any Postgres client; the xata CLI
Composes with	no path: a 14-day trial cannot anchor a workload that has to outlive a fortnight
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	Any corpus that still lists Xata's 15 GB always-free tier is describing a plan that no longer exists.
Evidence note	documented the pricing page states the 14-day trial in its own FAQ answer; the 15 GB free tier that aggregators still print is not on the page.
