Go to the Pricing page -> no pricing.

Go to the About page -> all engineers.

If everything's running on top of a database -> how well does any of this scale? What is it going to cost me to run at scale?

In the durable execution space, flawless.dev has no pricing, but they're clear that they're still in alpha; temporal.io does have clear pricing for their hosted model: https://temporal.io/pricing/ , clearly documents limits: https://docs.temporal.io/cloud/limits#throughput , and allows self-hosting.

How does DBOS compare to its competitors?

The "contact sales for pricing" is a plague, especially for companies that are have that specific Northern American attitude. While I hate it, I don't see it being much different from a lot of IT space.

I did a lot of research and product evaluations, was always honest about my intent and how much decision power I had. It worked out maybe once - most companies insisted on wasting time of multiple people just to ... Waste even more time and not give even unofficial rought estimate, or basic definitions from license. It kind of matters if it's paid for "every employee" or "every employee that uses the software". Apparently just for me.
