We just rolled out a major pricing update, including two of our most requested changes: more storage for Free users, and a $5 /month plan.

Neon

Neon has introduced usage-based pricing for its serverless PostgreSQL platform, replacing fixed quotas with pay-as-you-go billing for compute, storage, branches, and restore history. The new model enforces a $5 monthly minimum for paid plans while expanding the free tier to offer 0.5 GB storage per project across up to 10 projects. Users pay only for actual compute hours (CU-hours), storage consumption (GB-months), additional branches beyond quotas, and optional point-in-time recovery features. The pricing structure includes three tiers: Free for learning and early development, Launch for growing teams with $5 minimum spend, and Scale for enterprise workloads requiring advanced security and compliance features.
