Neon plans
Learn about the different plans offered by Neon
Neon's plans are designed to meet different user requirements, ranging from hobby projects to enterprise-level production workloads. We also offer custom enterprise plans with volume-based discounts for large teams or database fleets. Refer to our Pricing page for fees and a detailed plan comparison.
Neon offers four plans:
Plan Allowances and Extra Usage
Neon plans are structured around Allowances and Extra usage. Allowances are included in your plan. With Neon's paid plans, you can purchase extra usage in set increments for when you need to go over your allowance.
Free Tier
Neon's Free Tier plan is best for hobby projects, prototypes, and learning Neon.
Free Tier allowances
The Free Tier includes the following usage allowances:
| Usage type | Plan allowance |
|---|---|
| Projects | 1 Neon project |
| Branches | 10 branches |
| Databases | Unlimited |
| Storage | 0.5 GiB |
| Compute | Always-available primary branch compute, 5 compute hours (20 active hours)/month on branch computes. Free Tier computes have 0.25 vCPU with 1GB RAM. |
| Data Transfer (Egress) | 5 GiB per month |
What are active hours and compute hours?
-
An active hour is a measure of the amount of time a compute is active. The time your compute is idle when suspended due to inactivity is not counted. In the table above, active hours are based on a 0.25 vCPU compute size.
-
A compute hour is one active hour for a compute with 1 vCPU. For a compute with .25 vCPU, it takes 4 active hours to use 1 compute hour. On the other hand, if your compute has 4 vCPUs, it takes only 15 minutes to use 1 compute hour.
-
Compute hours formula
compute hours = compute size * active hours
Free Tier features
- Autosuspend (after 5 minutes of inactivity)
- All supported regions
- Project sharing
- Advanced Postgres features such as connection pooling, logical replication, and 60+ Postgres extensions
- Neon features such as branching, point-in-time restore up to 24 hours in the past, time travel connections, and more
- Community support
For a complete list of features, refer to the detailed plan comparison on the Neon pricing page.
Free Tier Compute Allowances
On the Free Tier, your primary branch compute is always available — it will never be suspended, which means you can always access the data on the primary branch in your Neon project. Branch computes have 20 active hours (5 compute hours) per month. If your branch computes exceed this allowance, they are suspended until the allowance resets at the beginning of the month. You can monitor branch compute hours on the Billing page in the Neon Console. The compute hour allowance for branch computes resets at the beginning of each month. For instance, if you enrolled in the Neon Free Tier in January, the allowance for branch computes resets on February 1st.
Launch
The Launch plan provides all of the resources, features, and support you need to launch your application. It's ideal for startups and growing businesses or applications.
Launch plan allowances
The Launch plan includes the following usage allowances:
| Usage type | Plan allowance |
|---|---|
| Projects | 10 Neon projects |
| Branches | 500 |
| Databases | Unlimited |
| Storage | 10 GiB of data storage |
| Compute | 300 compute hours (1,200 active hours)/month for all computes in all projects |
Launch plan extra usage
Launch plan users have access to extra compute and storage, which is allocated and billed automatically when plan allowances are exceeded.
| Extra usage type | Cost |
|---|---|
| Extra Storage | Billed for in units of 2 GiB at $3.50 per unit, prorated for the month |
| Extra Compute | Billed by compute hour at $0.16 per hour |
Launch plan features
- Compute size up to 4 vCPUs and 16 GB RAM, Autosuspend (5 minutes+ to 7 days)
- Advanced Postgres features, including connection pooling, logical replication, and 60+ Postgres extensions
- Neon features such as branching, point-in-time restore up to 7 days in the past, time travel connections, and more
- Standard support
For a complete list of features, refer to the detailed plan comparison on the Neon pricing page.
Scale
The Scale plan provides full platform and support access and is designed for scaling production workloads.
Scale plan allowances
The Scale plan includes the following usage allowances:
| Usage type | Plan allowance |
|---|---|
| Projects | 50 Neon projects |
| Branches | 500 |
| Databases | Unlimited |
| Storage | 50 GiB of data storage |
| Compute | 750 compute hours (3,000 active hours)/month for all computes in all projects |
Scale plan extra usage
Scale plan users have access to extra compute, storage, and projects, which is allocated and billed automatically when plan allowances are exceeded.
| Extra usage type | Clost |
|---|---|
| Extra Storage | Billed for in units of 10 GiB at $15 per unit, prorated for the month |
| Extra Compute | Billed by compute hour at $0.16 per hour |
| Extra Projects | Billed for in units of 10 at $50 per unit |
Scale plan features
- Compute up to 8 vCPUs and 32 GB RAM, Autosuspend (1 minute+ to 7 days)
- Advanced Postgres features, including connection pooling, logical replication, 60+ Postgres extensions, and customer-provided custom extensions
- Neon features such as branching, point-in-time restore up to 30 days in the past, time travel connections, and more
- Priority support
For a complete list of features, refer to the detailed plan comparison on the Neon pricing page.
Enterprise
The Enterprise plan is a custom plan intended for large teams, enterprises requiring database fleets, or SaaS vendors interested in reselling Neon or integrating Neon into their service.
Enterprise plan usage is entirely customizable and can support large data sizes.
| Usage type | Plan allowance |
|---|---|
| Projects | Unlimited |
| Branches | Custom |
| Databases | Unlimited |
| Storage | Large data sizes |
| Compute | Custom |
Additionally, the Enterprise plan can be tailored to your specific requirements with:
- Custom pricing with discounts
- Higher resource allowances for projects, branches, storage, and compute
- Autosuspend (disabled entirely or up to 7 days)
- Customer-owned S3
Enterprise plan users have access to Enterprise support, which includes everything offered with the Priority plan plus retail customer support, Customer Success Team support, and SLAs. For more information, Neon support plans are outlined on our Support page.
