Unless their pricing has changed, it’s quite exorbitant when you need a lot of data. To the point that one year of cockroachdb would cost 5x the cost of the server it was running on.

I think you're referring to the CockroachDB Cloud DBaaS offering vs. CockroachDB itself, correct?

Not the parent but yeah, most likely. But then again, you probably don’t want to maintain your own deployment of Cockroach fleet.

This is still true. I wouldn’t use Cockroach if it were my own business. Also, they don’t offer any free version to try out the product. All you get is a short trial period and that’s it.

The site makes it seems as if I can install CockroachDB on Mac, Linux, or Windows and try it out for as long as I like. https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/v25.1/install-cockroachdb... Additionally, they claim CockroachDB Cloud is free for use "up to 10 GiB of storage and 50M RUs per organization per month".
