Neon
neon.com ↗Billing is predominantly usage-based across several meters (compute, storage, history/snapshots storage, network transfer, branches), with plan-dependent compute rates and included egress per project. While this is typical for PaaS, varied meters, autoscaling behavior, and per-project allowances can make monthly totals variable, especially as project count and traffic grow.

Watch out for 🕵️
- ⚠️Multiple independent metered dimensions (compute CU-hours, storage GB-month, instant-restore history GB-month, snapshots storage GB-month, extra branches per branch-month, public egress per GB, private network transfer per GB on Scale)
- ⚠️Different compute rates by plan (Launch vs Scale CU-hour pricing)
- ⚠️Included egress allowances with overage rates (5 GB on Free; 500 GB per project on Launch/Scale, then $0.10/GB)
- ⚠️Per-project allowances that can multiply costs across many projects (egress included per project; extra branches per project)
- ⚠️Configurable autoscaling and scale-to-zero affecting compute consumption unpredictably
- ⚠️Optional fixed vs autoscaled compute sizes up to high CU limits impacting usage spend
- ⚠️Overage beyond included limits (egress overages, extra branches, storage growth)
