Neon
neon.tech ↗Pricing is usage-based across multiple services (managed Postgres, Auth MAU included, object storage, functions, AI gateway credits), with numerous metered dimensions and plan-specific rates. Costs can vary with configuration, per-project inclusions, and overage charges, making estimates dependent on actual workload patterns.

Watch out for 🕵️
- ⚠️Multiple independent metered dimensions to sum (compute CU-hours by plan, Postgres storage GB-month, history storage GB-month, snapshots GB-month, public egress over included per GB with plan-specific allowances, private egress per GB on Scale, object storage GB-month, functions active/wait Capacity-Hours, and functions invocations)
- ⚠️Plan-dependent rates for the same resource (compute price differs between Launch and Scale; functions rates differ by plan)
- ⚠️Included allowances with overage pricing (public egress per project with overage $/GB; free-tier function quotas then metered)
- ⚠️Per-project inclusions and limits that can multiply costs across many projects (egress and storage inclusions per project, extra branches per branch-month)
- ⚠️Configuration choices affecting spend (autoscaling versus fixed sizes, scale-to-zero settings)
- ⚠️Overage for extra branches per branch-month
- ⚠️Private networking billed per GB on Scale only
