Given that Spanner starts at $650/mo/node + storage costs, I think Cockroach could still see huge usage as a self-hosted alternative.

That's not very much given the capabilities and managed service. Anything cheaper probably means the single-node managed SQL offerings are more than enough.

But single node with unlimited room to grow is always a good value prop. Cockroach can market that, but Spanner can't.
