Reading the homepage as a total DB noob, all signs point to this product being a CLI tool. However, when you get to the bottom, you see that it is subscription-based with a free tier. Reading the feature list ("availability zones", "storage", etc), it sounds like this is in fact a service with a CLI frontend? But again, this is a layman perspective, and some clarity from the authors (or other commenters) might help.
Update: I think I see what happened. Xata is a serverless DB service, and this is a tool they wrote that can be used independently of their service (I assume). The subscription options presented to the user look like they are related to this CLI tool, but they are in fact for the broader Xeta service.

Yes, that's right. Xata is a Postgres-based service and we're working on exposing the Postgres DB directly and unrestricted to our users. As part of this, we're also open-sourcing parts of the platform. We'll have more such open source projects soon.
This is not exactly the case with pgroll, as its approach is different from what we do today in Xata, but we'll be incorporating pgroll in Xata soon.
The tool is open source and doesn't require any subscription :)
