We are open-source, so you can use and self host us for free. Our plan is to create a managed service (so long as all goes well) which shouldn't be priced any differently from other databases in the space.

We chose AGPL to make sure someone can't make a cloud hosted version of our product, think MongoDB on AWS a few years back.

I can use it for personal needs, sure. Bringing AGPL in a closed-source project is a no go for obvious reasons.

We built this to help people make software that was previously harder to make. If people want to build software and share it with everyone, they are welcome to do that for free, and if someone wants to close-source their project to make lots of money, then they can support the community they rely on by paying a license. :)
