How about instead of elastic customers moved to Redis or Postgres ?

Does the pricing/licensing suddenly change ? Hmm ?

Elasticsearch provides a different feature set than Redis or Postgres. I've seen apps that use all 3... but anyway.

It is a little weird to charge per-seat for a search database that is usually integrated into a product, and not used directly by employees. Usually that kind of pricing model is reserved for developer tools like Splunk (notoriously overpriced), or game engines like Unity/Unreal Engine.
