Our take
Pick Timescale if teams who will burn the 30-day Performance trial (no card), then land on Performance at $30/month compute + $0.177/GB-month when the job is time-series on Postgres — not a serverless branch database. Pick Tinybird if app teams who will buy Developer at the printed $49/month (0.5 vCPU, 25 GB) while they publish a first Pipe, then talk to sales for SaaS when they need up to 32 vCPUs and 500 GB.
