Neon

neon.com ↗

Pricing is fully consumption-based across several PaaS services (database compute/storage, networking, object storage, functions), which is typical for infrastructure platforms. The bill can be hard to predict due to many concurrent meters, tier-specific compute rates, included allowances with overages (especially egress), and configuration choices that change metered compute hours.

Watch out for 🕵️

  • ⚠️Multiple independent metered dimensions: compute (per CU-hour), storage (per GB-month), instant restore/history (per GB-month), snapshots storage (per GB-month), public egress (per GB with included allowances), private network transfer (per GB), object storage (per GB-month), functions active/waiting capacity-hours, and function invocations
  • ⚠️Different compute rates by tier (Launch vs Scale) requiring tier-specific calculations
  • ⚠️Overage pricing after included network egress allowances
  • ⚠️Per-branch charge beyond included branches (per branch-month)
  • ⚠️Configurable compute behavior (autoscaling vs fixed sizes, scale-to-zero) affecting metered hours
  • ⚠️Multiple service areas included (DB, networking, auth MAU limits, object storage, functions, monitoring) with separate limits and meters to track
