Honestly that's something they can probably offer separately, but I really prefer this pricing for most use cases where I want a database that is always available but has bursty request/response patterns. This means I can have an analytical database available for all my small services, websites, etc without having to think too much about availability, support, and a constant price overhead. But ClickHouse is so fast you can get pretty far with a $10 VPS, I admit.
Probably the best comparison is CockroachDB Cloud. They have a "serverless" offering based on unit pricing and a dedicated offering based on provisioned servers + support/maintenance overhead. I think that would be the ideal place to go long-term, but I'm super excited for this current one. I love ClickHouse and want to support them.
ClickHouse is also an interesting case because there's lots of options to migrate clusters, use S3 as long-term storage, etc to where I don't particularly feel locked into this offering if I ever wanted to shift into my own.
