I have found the price of commercial MariaDB to be pretty steep, although not as high as Oracle. Customers often prefer the Community Edition because it's free.

It's an open-source solution that only charges for a server database. I rate the solution's pricing an eight or nine out of ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap.

I rate the product's price a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price since there are some support costs involved, even though it isn't an open-source solution.
I haven't used the licensing model for MariaDB, but I would prefer to use it since I am familiar with the platform and find it easy to work with. I wouldn't want to switch to a different database management system.
The cost is quite good. You can have the open source, free version, which has adequate capacity. Compared to Oracle, MariaDB has a more flexible policy and less officials. Oracle is too big of an organization, and they do certain things that leave a sour taste in our mouth. Dealing with a smaller company is sometimes better, especially for smaller systems. I would rate the licensing cost as nine out of 10.

We use the open source edition which doesn't require licensing. We don't offer the enterprise edition, because if we're taking the customer off Oracle, for the additional benefits, we have to optimize the cost. If we have a customer with budget constraints, it's saving hundreds of thousands of dollars, sometimes millions, if we use MariaDB instead of Oracle.
The solution is free, but if you want the enterprise version you will need to pay for some licenses but the cost is less than other solutions, such as Oracle.
There are no costs associated with this solution. It is a free and open source software although one can opt for a paid support for enterprises from MariaDB
