Similar to how MongoDB worked, they make money on the enterprise extras that are probably necessary for large scale deployments. However, you can roll a cluster or a single server on some compute. They also have Oasis, which is like Atlas.
All that said, I do like Firestore's pay as you grow model and GCP has a great free tier for prototyping. Most databases, if you still want performance, requires a minimum buy-in regardless of use. Sometimes the difference of a few hundred a month can pause experimental projects. I really hope Google does some nice updates to Firestore.
