These capabilities are designed to help startups, digital agencies, and enterprises efficiently scale their databases in parallel with their code development workflows.
Xata’s business model is subscription-based and usage-driven, offering multiple tiers ranging from free developer plans to enterprise-level subscriptions that include premium support and security integrations like SSO/SAML.
