# Neon Pricing Plans

Neon is a serverless Postgres platform with three plans: Free, Launch, and Scale.
Launch and Scale are usage-based: you pay only for what you use, with no monthly minimum.
A CU (Compute Unit) represents compute size: 1 CU ≈ 1 CPU and 4 GB RAM.

| Feature | Free | Launch | Scale |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Price | $0/month | Pay for what you use | Pay for what you use |
| Who it's for | Prototypes, side projects, and small teams | Startups and growing teams | Production-grade workloads and larger companies |
| Organization members | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Projects | 100 | 100 | 1,000 (can be increased on request) |
| Branches per project | 10/project | 10/project | 25/project |
| Extra branches | - | $1.50/branch-month (prorated hourly) | $1.50/branch-month (prorated hourly) |
| Compute | 100 CU-hours/project | $0.106/CU-hour | $0.222/CU-hour |
| Autoscaling | Up to 2 CU (8 GB RAM) | Up to 16 CU (64 GB RAM) | Autoscaling up to 16 CU; fixed up to 56 CU (224 GB RAM) |
| Scale to zero | After 5 min | After 5 min, can be disabled | Configurable (1 minute to always on) |
| Storage | 0.5 GB/project | $0.35/GB-month | $0.35/GB-month |
| Instant restore | - | $0.20/GB-month | $0.20/GB-month |
| Restore window | 6 hours (1 GB limit) | Up to 7 days | Up to 30 days |
| Snapshots | 1 manual snapshot | 10 manual snapshots | 10 manual snapshots |
| Public network transfer (egress) | 5 GB included | 100 GB included, then $0.10/GB | 100 GB included, then $0.10/GB |
| Private network transfer | - | - | $0.01/GB |
| Auth (MAU) | Up to 60k MAU | Up to 1M MAU | Up to 1M MAU |
| Monitoring retention | 1 day | 3 days | 14 days |
| Metrics/logs export | - | - | Yes |
| Protected branches | - | Yes | Yes |
| IP Allow | - | - | Yes |
| Private Networking | - | - | Yes |
| HIPAA | - | - | Available |
| SOC 2 | - | - | Available |
| Uptime SLA | - | - | Yes |
| Support | Community | Billing support | Standard, Business, or Production |

All plans include: multi-AZ storage, autoscaling, database branching, read replicas, connection pooling via PgBouncer, Postgres extensions (pgvector, PostGIS, TimescaleDB, etc.), full management API and CLI, and a Data API for querying over HTTP.

Notes:
- "-" means the feature is not available on that plan.
- No monthly minimum on paid plans. Invoices under $0.50 are not collected.
- Free plan quotas (100 CU-hours, 0.5 GB) are per project; compute suspends when monthly limits are reached.
- Read replicas are separate computes and count toward CU-hours.
- To control costs, set autoscaling limits and keep scale-to-zero enabled. Suspended computes do not accrue CU-hours.
- Scale's higher CU-hour rate covers its additional production features. No separate fees for features listed in the table.
- Child branch storage is billed on the minimum of accumulated changes or logical data size. Paid plans: up to 16 TB per branch.
- Instant restore storage is charged only on root branches, not child branches.
- Snapshots are free during Beta; $0.09/GB-month starting May 1, 2026.
- Max branches per project is 5,000 on paid plans (10/25 included). Free is capped at 10.
- Public network transfer includes data sent via logical replication.
