Hover a name for they-win, invert, refuse, and the Veloce ask. Microsoft is two rows: SQL Server is the SAM letter, Azure Ledger is the digest feature.
Every row. Filter if a sponsor only has one pain.
One click. Every peer in the group.
Invert: Meter + Successor. Refuse: Always On language, AHB slogans, T-SQL wire LIVE, drop-in native ISAM library, EE $47,500 smash.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Veloce: LIVE — No region required to COMMIT. Workbench is closable. Production needs a license after day 30. | SQL Server: native — On-prem does not need a region.

| Veloce: LIVE — Optional keys. Kernel stays. Closable. | SQL Server: native — On-prem stays up. Azure SQL does not unplug. | Oracle: native — On-prem stays up. Cloud Oracle does not unplug. | Postgres: native — Self-host stays up. Hosted does not. | |

| Veloce: LIVE — 5-user Standard $999, unlimited Standard $3,499, Enterprise $9,999. Toolkit $199 is not a CAL. | SQL Server: no — Enterprise 2-core pack list $15,123. 4-core floor. CALs invert around 25–30 users. | Oracle: no — Processor + 10 NUP floor. Support ~22% of net. Not unlimited seats. | Postgres: native — OSS has no seat meter. Hosted Postgres reintroduces one. | |
| Veloce: LIVE — Enterprise $9,999 vs the published SE2/NUP floor. EE $47,500 stays a non-target with this footnote. Not a quote. | SQL Server: n/a — Different meter. SHOW METER is the SQL Server worksheet. | Oracle: native — Processor + 10 NUP floor. Support ~22% of net. EE list $47,500 is not SE2. | Postgres: n/a — Not an Oracle meter. | |

Theirs. | Oracle: native — Perpetual with support ~22% of net. Cloud is a different meter. | Postgres: n/a — OSS. Hosted Postgres is a different vendor's meter. | |
| Veloce: LIVE — No SA meter on this page. | SQL Server: native — ~25%/year of perpetual list is the typical published SA pattern. | Oracle: native — Support ~22% of net. That is the annual meter. | Postgres: n/a — OSS. Support contracts are a different vendor. | |
| Veloce: no — Not an AHB SKU. Refuse AHB slogans. Dual-use is a window, not our TCO. | SQL Server: native — AHB is their benefit. 180-day dual-use. SA lapse drops it. | Oracle: n/a — BYOL is a different vendor's window. | Postgres: n/a — Not AHB. | |

Not RAC. | SQL Server: native — Passive failover free only with SA while replica stays passive. Readable secondary is a second Enterprise license. | Oracle: native — RAC / Data Guard are theirs. We do not steal RAC language. | Postgres: native — Streaming replica is real. We do not claim it. | |

| Veloce: LIVE — Optional hash-journal on the workgroup row. SHOW DIGEST / INCLUSION / VERIFY. | SQL Server: no — WAL is not an inclusion proof. | Oracle: no — Redo is not an inclusion proof. | Postgres: no — WAL is not inclusion. | |
| Veloce: no — Refuse wasm parity. Refuse stars-as-job. The kernel is a workgroup, not a benchmark poster. | SQL Server: n/a — Not their GTM. | Oracle: n/a — Not their GTM. | Postgres: n/a — Not stars-as-job. | |

Each incumbent is a trap we spend and a refuse we will not copy. Selling intention lives in the hover, not a wall of text.
Microsoft SQL Server / Azure SQL
Microsoft’s database. You pay for processor cores in packs of two, floor of four, then yearly Software Assurance.
Where they win
T-SQL, SSMS, Always On as a real HA product, the BI stack, every integration that already speaks TDS.
The invert
Meter + Vacuum. One Veloce workgroup is seats, not core packs.
We will not say
Always On language, Azure Hybrid Benefit slogans, T-SQL wire LIVE.
SHOW METER is the worksheet a SAM owner re-runs. We analog the seat job. We do not speak Always On.
Microsoft is two rows on purpose: SQL Server is the SAM letter, Azure Ledger is the digest feature.
Run SHOW METEROracle Database
Oracle’s database. You pay per processor, with a floor of named users, then yearly support.
Where they win
EE, RAC, Data Guard, the processor/NUP letter. Operators already dream in it.
The invert
Published SE2/NUP as the fair row. Enterprise $9,999 is a different SKU than EE.
We will not say
Smashing $9,999 against EE $47,500 without that footnote.
The footnote is the close. Honesty is why a qualified buyer trusts the rest of the table.
Run SHOW METERRedis / SSPL / Valkey / Dragonfly / KeyDB / Garnet
A very fast key/value cache. Not a filing cabinet with SQL. The license fight (SSPL vs Apache) is their weather.
Where they win
The cache binary, the fork war, the ops/s poster.
The invert
One kernel. Failures have codes. We replace the afternoon, not redis-server.
We will not say
“We replace redis-server.”
Stitch buyers are tired of four products. Name the refuse and they believe the LIVE stamps.
Run SHOW METERetcd / Kubernetes
Kubernetes’ little sacred database. Stores cluster truth. Not a query engine.
Where they win
Sacred KV, etcdctl muscle memory, the Helm operator.
The invert
One kernel + VERIFY. Query proof on the row.
We will not say
Helm operator LIVE.
Control-plane people already trust etcd. We do not steal that row. We sell the workgroup that does not need a fourth product.
Run SHOW METERSupabase / Neon / Lakebase
Postgres in someone else’s region (Supabase, Neon, Lakebase). The demo deletes the chrome.
Where they win
Postgres wire, branching, region as default. Speak-as-H1 is their gravity.
The invert
Close. You do not need a region to COMMIT. Speak stays a door.
We will not say
Speak as H1. Demo that wipes the project.
Unplug is not a wipe. Workbench is closable. That is the close against region-as-default.
Run SHOW METERDuckDB
A fast file-shaped analytics engine. Great at reading a parquet. Not an OLTP journal.
Where they win
Speed. Wasm. Stars. No OLTP journal.
The invert
Proof on the row. Two JSON files.
We will not say
Wasm parity. Stars-as-job.
Speed is theirs. Vacuum is ours. We will not run a Wasm horse race as this job.
Run SHOW METERFivetran + dbt / Airbyte
Pipes that copy tables from one vendor to another. You pay for monthly active rows.
Where they win
The connector catalog. MAR as the meter.
The invert
Seats. Failures have codes.
We will not say
600-connector parity.
MAR is the tax they already hate. Seats is the invert. We will not fake a catalog.
Run SHOW METERSnowflake / Databricks
A warehouse in a region. Time-travel is yesterday in that region. Lakehouse ads sit next to the bill.
Where they win
The warehouse, time-travel as yesterday, lakehouse ads.
The invert
No region to COMMIT.
We will not say
Lakehouse ads.
Warehouse buyers who also have a workgroup pain. We do not pretend to be the lake.
Run SHOW METERAmazon QLDB / Aurora
Amazon’s ledger database. They ended it 31 Jul 2025. Aurora kept the table and dropped the proof.
Where they win
GetDigest while it lived. The product ended. The job did not.
The invert
Vacuum. Two JSON files. VERIFY in this tab.
We will not say
Blockchain. 74-domain TAM. Enclaves.
The vacuum close. Bookmark /tools/verify. Journal unlock is Enterprise.
Run SHOW METERAzure SQL Ledger
Microsoft’s remaining cloud digest: Ledger tables inside Azure SQL. Same holder as SQL Server, different product.
Where they win
Azure-held proof with a Microsoft account.
The invert
Vacuum. Two JSON files that do not live in Azure.
We will not say
Blockchain. Fetching a Blob. “We are Azure SQL Ledger.”
If the buyer needs Azure-held proof, that is their row. If they need a closable pair of JSON files, that is /tools/verify.
Microsoft is two rows on purpose: SQL Server is the SAM letter, Azure Ledger is the digest feature.
Run SHOW METERGrafana / Gremlin / collector SaaS
Dashboards and a collector bill. A window, not the filing cabinet.
Where they win
The dashboard, the collector, the chaos vendor. Fourth product in the stitch.
The invert
First trace without a collector bill.
We will not say
Connected badge on an empty key.
If the key is empty, our badge stays empty. That sentence is the prestige.
Run SHOW METERImmudb / ProvenDB
A database that treats the merkle tree as a second product, audit beside the files.
Where they win
Merkle as a second product. Audit beside the DDF.
The invert
Audit on the row. Optional journal, same kernel.
We will not say
“We are immudb.”
One compiler. Proof is a verb, not a sidecar you also have to license.
Run SHOW METERPostgreSQL
The SQL the world already speaks. Free to run yourself. Cloud vendors wrap it in a region.
Where they win
The dialect, the extensions, the wire, the operators who already dream in psql.
The invert
Close on self-host. Honesty about the dialect. We do not claim wire LIVE.
We will not say
Postgres wire LIVE. PGlite-as-this-job.
We speak enough SQL to land. The close is no-region + seats, not a wire claim we will not survive.
Run SHOW METERSHOW METER · LIVE worksheet
SQL Server is Microsoft — SQL Server / Azure SQL is the SAM letter. Azure Ledger is the other Microsoft row.
Not Microsoft's number. Not a quote. Not legal advice. Raw MAP/vCenter/AD attachments refused. Azure Hybrid Benefit leftover EXTERNAL. Software Assurance terms are Microsoft's.
SQL Server · Microsoft · Microsoft
Fair
Microsoft's relational engine. T-SQL, SSMS, Always On, core packs and CALs. Azure SQL is the same holder in a region.
Where they win
T-SQL, SSMS, Always On as a real HA product, the BI stack, TDS.
Why Veloce
One workgroup unit. Unlimited seats. testdb HA LIVE inside Enterprise.
Size class · demonstration, not a measured estate
| Line | SQL list | Veloce |
|---|---|---|
| 4-core EE floor (2 × $15,123 2-core pack) A 2-core VM still licenses 4. Microsoft. We do not meter cores. | $30,246 | $9,999 |
| Software Assurance ~25%/year of perpetual list No SA meter on the Veloce SKU. SA terms are Microsoft's. | $7,562 | $0 |
| Readable secondary = second Enterprise license testdb HA is LIVE inside Enterprise $9,999. Not Always On. | $30,246 | $0 |
| Server+CAL path ($989 + 25 × $230) CAL path can still be cheaper at tiny user counts. We do not sell CALs. | $6,739 | $199 |
| Year 1 Our 2026-08-19 list we are allowed to name. Not Microsoft's quote.. Not a quote. | $68,054 | $9,999 enterprise |
| Year 5 Support compounds on their side. Perpetual on ours. | $98,302 | $9,999 |
Our 2026-08-19 list we are allowed to name. Not Microsoft's quote. Not Microsoft's number. Not a quote. Not legal advice. Raw MAP/vCenter/AD attachments refused. Azure Hybrid Benefit leftover EXTERNAL. Software Assurance terms are Microsoft's. Delta year-1 $58,055. testdb HA is LIVE inside Enterprise — not Always On.
Vacuum, Stitch, Keys, Close, Theater, Meter, Speak, Successor. Pain a sponsor already has, the advantage we will say in a room, the leftover we refuse to fake.
Pain
An agent that needs a row, a key, and a dashboard currently means etcd + Redis + Grafana + a prompt box. That is an afternoon, not a product. Three blast radii. Three bills. No CONFIRM.
Why this closes
One compiler. One tenant DDF. HITL on destructive verbs. The stitch is leftover named — we replace the afternoon, not redis-server.
Leftover named
Native ISAM library / TCP 1583 mux leftover EXTERNAL. Successor, not drop-in.
Pain
A workgroup that cannot commit unless a region is healthy is not a workgroup. It is a hostage. SAM letters arrive while the plane is waiting on someone else's AZ. Demo chrome that deletes the rest is not a close.
Why this closes
Unplug optional keys. The kernel stays. Use the online tools. Speak is off unless you turn it on. Speak is not the H1. Closable is the close.
Leftover named
Paid workgroup installers stay gated on /download after the 30-day trial. Postgres wire leftover EXTERNAL.
Pain
AWS ended QLDB and pointed migrants at Aurora. Aurora kept the table and dropped the proof. Azure will hold your digest if you stay in Azure. DuckDB is fast and has no OLTP journal. A counsel who cannot email themselves an inclusion file does not have a digest.
Why this closes
SET LEDGER ON. SHOW DIGEST. SHOW INCLUSION ENVELOPE. VERIFY from a detached veloce-inclusion/0. The proof lives with the customer. Audit on the row, not a second merkle product.
Leftover named
QLDB SDK / Azure SQL Ledger T-SQL / RFC 6962 v1 leftover EXTERNAL. Journal ≠ Raft. Not a blockchain. We are not immudb. Refuse 74-domain TAM. Refuse enclaves. Refuse wasm parity.
Pain
A 2-core VM still licenses 4. Readable secondary is a second Enterprise license unless SA is current and the replica stays passive. SA is ~25%/year of list. Oracle is processor + 10 NUP and support ~22% of net. Fivetran bills MAR. The letter is the product.
Why this closes
One workgroup unit. Unlimited seats. No CAL. testdb HA LIVE inside Enterprise — readable secondary is not a second SKU. SHOW METER does the arithmetic in the tab. Failures have codes.
Leftover named
Not Microsoft's number. Not legal advice. Azure Hybrid Benefit leftover EXTERNAL. We do not smash $9,999 against Oracle EE $47,500 without the footnote. 600-connector parity refused.
Pain
Copilot-next-to-the-database is a stitch. Chat text that says “I approve” is not a principal. One leaked prompt becomes a DROP. Hosted Postgres that lands on Speak as H1 is the same trap.
Why this closes
CONFIRM is bound to a draft ID. FAILOVER TESTDB stages a token. MCP SQL tools stay 17. The model gets a principal, not the cluster. Speak is a door, default-off, never the H1.
Leftover named
Speak / MCP optional, default-off. Enabling Speak is a new risk row, not a default.
Pain
etcd + Redis + Grafana + a prompt box is an afternoon. The collector invoice is the quiet one. A connected badge on an empty key is theater a qualified buyer will bounce on.
Why this closes
W3C traceparent on Raft RPCs. If the collector key is empty, the badge is empty. First trace without a fourth bill.
Leftover named
Native OTel collector leftover EXTERNAL. Helm operator leftover EXTERNAL. We do not replace etcdctl.
Pain
A checkbox grid that ticks T-SQL, 1583, Helm, wasm parity, and SOC 2 is how this buyer bounces. Theater is a conversion bug, not a brand voice.
Why this closes
We do not claim a 3PAO letter. The TSC pack lives on Trust. Honesty 10 is not certificate 10. A qualified buyer trusts the rest of the table because we named the refuse.
Leftover named
3PAO Type II letter leftover EXTERNAL. HIPAA BAA leftover EXTERNAL. FedRAMP leftover EXTERNAL. CrowdStrike leftover EXTERNAL.
Pain
Plant software that still calls keyed-file ISAM thinks a new DLL is the upgrade. Invisible to 6sense is a feature until someone sells drop-in and the first GetNext fails.
Why this closes
SQL + Tachyon ISAM in one process, in the tab. The workgroup job survives. The binary does not have to.
Leftover named
Native ISAM library / TCP 1583 leftover EXTERNAL. Refuse drop-in. Successor is the invert.
Pain
Hosted Postgres that lands on an AI box is Speak-as-H1. Copilot gravity next to SQL Server is the same stitch. One leaked prompt becomes a DROP.
Why this closes
Home is the close. Speak/MCP default-off. HITL still required. Features are not deleted. Enabling Speak is a new risk row, not a default.
Leftover named
Speak is optional. Not row 95. LiveKit / Whisper leftover EXTERNAL.
Pain
Green dashboards that average a fence fail with a pretty trace. Procurement reads the mean. Counsel reads the hole.
Why this closes
SHIP = AND of CRITICAL. Empty-hold freezes Intent Anchor. livePulse never falls back to canned. Pack ≠ letter.
Leftover named
A SHIP gate is not a Type II letter. 3PAO leftover EXTERNAL.
Pain
A workgroup that 500s because Stripe or a collector key is empty is not closable. It is a hostage with a nicer login.
Why this closes
inspectEnumEnv. Missing leftover stays leftover. Kernel COMMITs. Connected badge stays empty without a live key.
Leftover named
Stripe Checkout leftover if secret missing. Native collector leftover EXTERNAL.
Pain
Fivetran tribal Slack. dbt tests that pass on Tuesday and lie on Thursday. DuckDB speed with no OLTP journal. Counsel cannot email themselves a proof.
Why this closes
Drift STM plus empty-hold. merkle-v0 11 codes. VERIFY from two JSON files. Cutover cannot promote on an empty bag.
Leftover named
Great Expectations / sklearn leftover EXTERNAL. Journal ≠ Raft.
Pain
MAR tax. 600-connector catalogs. Write-backs that dial a binary we do not ship. Tribal sync failures without a code.
Why this closes
SHOW CONNECTOR MAP. Write-backs NEVER-DIAL. Seats, not monthly active rows. Failures have codes.
Leftover named
Fivetran/dbt/Airbyte binaries leftover EXTERNAL. Refuse 600-connector parity.
Isolation, self-host tax, MAR, warehouse sidecar, learning curve, drift, agent observability, edge identity, connector silos.
Pain
A shared workgroup that cannot name the tenant is a leak waiting on a prompt.
Why this closes
Fence never overrides. Cross-tenant SHARE is blocked even with CONFIRM 'DLP'. SHOW SEGMENTATION.
Leftover named
We do not operate SQL Server / OEM login. MFA on their IdP is N/A.
Pain
Helm charts, collector bills, and a region to COMMIT. The afternoon is the product they sold you.
Why this closes
Use the online tools. Unplug optional keys. The kernel stays.
Leftover named
Helm operator leftover EXTERNAL.
Pain
A 2-core VM still licenses 4. Fivetran bills MAR. Oracle support is ~22% of net. The letter is the product.
Why this closes
One workgroup unit. SHOW METER in the tab. Failures have codes. EE $47,500 stays a footnote.
Leftover named
Not Microsoft's number. Not a quote. Not legal advice. AHB leftover EXTERNAL.
Pain
DuckDB for speed, a warehouse for yesterday, dbt for the graph, Fivetran for the pipe. Four products. No CONFIRM.
Why this closes
Same tenant DDF. Living transform. SAT placement analog. No warehouse sidecar to COMMIT.
Leftover named
dbt Core binary leftover EXTERNAL. We do not claim wasm parity.
Pain
A second dialect for the agent. A GUI the human clicks that the model cannot type. Recipes 31 as a growth hack.
Why this closes
Same compiler in the tab and in veloce-stdio. Recipes stay 30. Muscle stays 12. MCP SQL stays 17.
Leftover named
Host Linux CLI leftover EXTERNAL. Speak is a door, not the H1.
Pain
Tribal Slack. Aurora kept the table and dropped the proof. Time-travel is yesterday in someone else's region.
Why this closes
Drift STM. merkle-v0 11 codes. VERIFY does not look the journal back up.
Leftover named
QLDB SDK leftover EXTERNAL. Not a blockchain.
Pain
Grafana + Gremlin + a prompt box. The connected badge lights up on an empty key. Chat text is treated as authority.
Why this closes
If the collector key is empty, the badge is empty. CONFIRM is bound to a draft ID. The model gets a principal, not the cluster.
Leftover named
Native OTel collector leftover EXTERNAL. Gremlin leftover EXTERNAL.
Pain
Identity that only lives in a region. Adapters that are not portable. A workgroup that cannot leave the building.
Why this closes
Portable analog identity keys. Tenant-fenced. Edge Bluetooth path under a 200 ms budget — analog.
Leftover named
Native PEFT / Web Bluetooth / hardware EKG leftover EXTERNAL. We do not sell a USB SKU on this origin.
Pain
Fivetran + dbt + Airbyte as three bills. MAR tax. Sync failures without a code. 600-connector posters.
Why this closes
SHOW CONNECTOR MAP. Living transform inside the dual engine. Failures have codes.
Leftover named
Fivetran/dbt/Airbyte binaries leftover EXTERNAL. Refuse 600-connector parity.
Trust is not a badge row. It is the machine that makes the rest of Compare believable: leftover named on the origin, they-win said in the same breath, SOC 2 transported as a pack not a letter.
TCP 1583, TDS, Postgres wire, native CLI, SSMS, Helm operator stay leftover. Analog is a word we retired on rows the kernel now COMMITs. We do not steal a binary to retire the word.
SQL Server keeps T-SQL and Always On. Oracle keeps EE. Redis keeps redis-server. etcd keeps etcdctl. Azure keeps the cloud digest. DuckDB keeps speed. Immudb keeps merkle-as-product. A matrix that pretends otherwise is the checkmark trap.
TSC cells, observation calendar, cost bands, and leftover 3PAO live on Trust. A SHIP-gate pack is evidence. It is not a Type II opinion.
CONFIRM on drafts. FAILOVER TESTDB CONFIRM on promote. Chat text is data. The model is not the cluster. Speak is not the H1. That is the trust engine for the stitch job.
Zero-trust, tenant fence, login/data-move detector, RBAC+HITL, DLP on EXPORT are LIVE. CrowdStrike, Splunk, Duo, Forcepoint, 3PAO pen-test letter stay leftover. MFA on SQL Server is N/A — we do not operate their login.
Analog ≠ native. Journal does not replace Raft. Pack ≠ SOC 2 letter. TCP 1583 leftover EXTERNAL. 4 families.
