Review PlanetScale?
Reviewers praise PlanetScale most for its database branching workflow, saying it makes schema changes feel like Git and is especially useful for feature work. One user calls it the best developer experience they have used, though they note CI setup can require extra CLI scripting. The clearest criticism is pricing: a user says costs were not obvious at signup and felt excessive after the free tier went away. Overall, sentiment is positive but narrow, centered on strong developer workflows with real price frustration.
