About
Xata is a hosted PostgreSQL platform that provides instant database branching, copy-on-write cloning, scale-to-zero compute, and built-in anonymization for production and development workflows. It supports vanilla PostgreSQL and extensions, and can be used on Xata-managed cloud or deployed in a customer’s own cloud account.
The service is aimed at teams running agent-driven development, CI, simulation, and multi-tenant workloads that need isolated Postgres branches with real data. The pricing page lists an always-free open source edition, a Standard plan starting at $0.012 per hour plus storage with a $100 credit for a 14-day trial, and BYOC deployment options across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Hetzner.

Free Tier Value
The page explicitly lists an Open Source plan as “Free forever” with no stated caps, and the free-tier bullets include Deploy on Kubernetes, Copy-on-Write branches, Scale-to-zero, and Community support. Per the rules, an always-free uncapped tier maps to null free_tier_value_usd_per_month and always_free_unbounded=true.
