DB 4.6/10

Serverless Postgres, scale-to-zero, autoscaling; compute $0.14/CU-hour, storage $0.35/GB-month, 500 GB egress included on paid plans. Branching (10 branches/project).

Neon scores 4.6/10 for free value in DB. The main constraint: Paid — $5/mo minimum (usage-based Launch). Serverless Postgres, scale-to-zero, autoscaling; compute $0.14/CU-hour, storage $0.35/GB-month, 500 GB egress included on paid plans. Branching (10 branches/project).

What you get

Paid — $5/mo minimum (usage-based Launch). Serverless Postgres, scale-to-zero, autoscaling; compute $0.14/CU-hour, storage $0.35/GB-month, 500 GB egress included on paid plans. Branching (10 branches/project).

Scale-to-zero means near-$0 when idle; ~7 CU-hours per $1 of compute — best for branchy, bursty Postgres where idle dominates
