|---|---|
| Price | USD 0.28/GB-month storage, micro compute USD 9/month equivalent |
| 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) |
| Egress | not published on the pricing page; recorded as a gap |
| Identity | card email for the trial; a credit card after it to stay on pay as you go |

| Binding | retention-clamped |
| 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 rung | 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. |
