Neon
neon.com ↗Pricing is primarily metered across several usage dimensions (compute, storage, history/instant-restore, snapshots, network egress/privatelink, and extra branches), which is typical for a PaaS database. Bill predictability depends on workload and configuration choices due to multiple meters, plan-specific compute rates, and included allowances with overage charges.

Watch out for 🕵️
- ⚠️Multiple metered dimensions: compute per CU-hour, storage per GB-month, instant-restore history per GB-month, snapshots storage per GB-month, public egress overages per GB, private network transfer per GB, extra branches per branch-month
- ⚠️Different compute rates by plan (Launch vs Scale) affecting usage cost
- ⚠️Included allowances with overage pricing (public egress 500 GB included on paid tiers, then $0.10/GB)
- ⚠️Overage-like charges for configuration scale (extra branches per project billed per branch-month, prorated hourly)
- ⚠️Variable autoscaling/scale-to-zero behavior influences metered compute consumption
- ⚠️Private networking introduces an additional per-GB metered charge on Scale
