businesses that 'need to haul ass' usually still want to try something out before buying it. That doesn't need to a a free plan, but it's common to offer some trial period to new users.

Also totally OK if planetscale doesn't do this and that $39/month _is_ the best way to try them out, I just think it would be good for them to make explicit in the article what I should do if I think I might want it but want to try it.

All our list prices are monthly and our bills are actually even finer-grained - there's no commitment to pay for a database longer than you run it.

If you do decide to operate on PlanetScale long-term, check out <https://planetscale.com/pricing> for consumption commitment discounting and other options that might make sense for your company.

They try it by contacting sales and setting up a pilot, not a self-service free trial

That is rather uncommon for B2B.
