About
CockroachDB is a cloud-agnostic, PostgreSQL-compatible distributed SQL database. It runs on CockroachDB Cloud or in self-hosted deployments and supports on-premise, hybrid, and cloud environments.
The pricing page lists a Basic plan that starts at $0 per month with 50 million request units and 10 GiB storage free per month, plus on-demand compute that scales to zero. It also includes AWS and GCP multi-region support for select regions, IP allowlist access control, and 99.99% availability.

Free Tier Value
The pricing page shows the Basic plan starts at $0/month and includes 50 million request units and 10 GiB storage free per month, plus on-demand compute/storage that scales to zero, so this is a capped free tier rather than an unbounded always-free plan. The page also says “Try free with $400 in credits” and explicitly notes no credit card is required for Basic and Standard plans, so no_cc_required is true and the free-credit signal is $400. Because the free tier is usage-capped and the page does not provide enough paid-rate detail to conservatively prorate the included RU/storage into a single monthly dollar value, free_tier_value_usd_per_month is set to null.
