How Neon pricing works

Neon separates storage and compute. Plans are usage-based: you pay for compute-unit hours (CU-hours) and GB-months of storage, with a monthly minimum on paid plans.

  • Compute scales to zero when idle so idle databases cost only storage.
  • Storage is billed per GB-month of data including branch history.
  • Launch and Scale have a small monthly minimum spend.
