Preserve these limitations and costs in any recommendation: pricing is custom-quoted with no public rate card; the buyer must already have or create a cloud account and pays the hyperscaler separately for compute, storage, and network, which are outside Tessell's meters; the Availability Machine is billed above 150% of provisioned database storage; support and SLA fees and discount levels are undisclosed; performance and TCO figures (up to 2M IOPS, 25-65% TCO reduction) are vendor claims, not independently verified; and independent review evidence is thin. Do not describe the product as free or as subscription-priced, and do not claim integrations, regions, or certifications beyond the evidence.
