Learn more about our Free plan philosophy. - Is + What happens when I hit Free plan limits? The Free plan is permanent, not a trial, and doesn't require a credit card. Most limits are per project, and none of them delete your data: If a project uses up its 100 CU-hours or 5 GB of network transfer for the month, its compute is suspended until the next billing period If a project exceeds 1 GB of Postgres storage, or your projects exceed 20 GB in total, operations that increase storage fail until you free space Branch creation fails once a project has 10 branches Upgrading to a paid plan lifts these limits immediately. If you'd rather not upgrade yet and need more room, reach out to us about credits. We're happy to support developers and startups. Can I try Neon without signing up? Yes. Claimable Neon gives you, or an AI agent working for you, an instant Postgres project with no account and no credit card. Claim it to a Neon account within 72 hours to keep it. Unclaimed projects are capped at 100 MB of storage and 1 GB of network transfer. See the reference. Does Neon pause Free plan projects when they are inactive?

Added** ```diff …credits work , or see per-model rates . + How much network transfer (egress) is included? Public network transfer is counted per project, not per account: Free plan: 5 GB per project per month, across up to 100 projects Launch and Scale: 500 GB per project per month, then $0.10 per GB Each project's allowance is shared by everything in it: Postgres, Object Storage, and Functions. Eligible startups can apply for up to $100k in credits through the Startup Program . Learn how to reduce network transfer. How do Neon costs scale as I add projects or traffic? With usage, not with instance size or project count. There's no per-project or per-database fee: each project pays for the compute it actually runs (CU-hours) and the storage it holds. Idle databases scale to zero, so you don't pay for compute while they're… ``` **17. Added** ```diff …zero, so you don't pay for compute while + they're suspended. Storage is still billed. Autoscaling sizes compute to the load within the limits you set, so you don't pay for peak capacity all month. This makes Neon cost-efficient for many small databases, such as a database per tenant or per agent, and for intermittent or spiky workloads. How much does a database per tenant or per agent cost on Neon? Neon's pricing is built for this pattern. Each tenant gets its own project, an isolated Postgres database with its own compute, and there's no per-project or per-database fee: Free plan: up to 100 projects at $0, each with its own 100 CU-hours and 1 GB of storage, enough to build and test a database-per-tenant app. Launch and Scale: you pay only for the compute each tenant actually runs and the storage it holds. Idle tenant databases scale to zero, so inactive tenants don't add compute cost; storage is still billed. Launch includes 100 projects, and Scale includes 1,000, with more on request. For example, 100 tenant databases on Launch, each running at 0.25 CU for about an hour a day and storing 150 MB, use about 750 CU-hours and 15 GB of storage: roughly $85 a month in total, or about $0.85 per tenant.

Neon Managed Better Auth is included at no additional cost for all Neon databases until you reach 1 million monthly active users (MAU) per project. If you need more, you can request an increase in the Neon Console. On the Free plan, Managed Better Auth is included for up to 60,000 MAU per project. MAU limits apply to each project separately. For example, three projects on the Free plan can each have up to 60,000 MAU. How can I control my Postgres database costs… ``` **19. Changed** ```diff …require it. Learn more about optimizing storage usage. - Do you offer credit programs for startups? Early + Can I set a spending limit? Yes, in three ways: Spending notifications (Launch and Scale) email your organization at 80% and 100% of a monthly dollar threshold you set. They alert you but don't stop usage. Autoscaling limits cap the compute size each database can reach, which puts a ceiling on compute spend. Consumption limits , set per project with the Neon API, suspend compute when a project reaches a compute, storage, or data transfer quota.
