Pricing estimation guide
Estimate your monthly bill with Neon
You can use this guide to estimate your monthly bill with Neon based on your selected plan and estimated usage.
- Select your plan and note the monthly fee
- Estimate your usage
- Calculate extra usage fees (if applicable)
- Total monthly estimate
Step 1: Select a plan and note the monthly fee
First, select a plan that best fits your requirements. Look closely at monthly fees, plan allowances, and the features that come with each plan. You can refer to our Plans page or the Neon Pricing page, which provides fees and a detailed plan comparison.
This table provides an overview of plan fees with allowances for storage, compute, and projects:
| Plan | Monthly Fee | Storage Allowance | Compute Allowance | Project Allowance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free Plan | $0 | 0.5 GiB | Always-available default branch compute, 5 compute hours for branch computes | 10 projects |
| Launch | $19 | 10 GiB | 300 compute hours per month | 100 projects |
| Scale | $69 | 50 GiB | 750 compute hours per month | 1000 projects |
| Business | $700 | 500 GiB | 1000 compute hours per month | 5000 projects |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom | Custom |
Notes
For the Enterprise plan, please contact our Sales team for an estimate based on your custom needs.
Step 2: Estimate your usage
Estimate your monthly usage to see if any "extra usage" is required beyond the storage, compute, or project allowances included in your plan.
- Storage (GiB): How much storage do you expect to use? Storage includes the size of your data and change history. For more information, see Storage.
- Compute (Hours): How many compute hours will you require? A compute hour is 1 active hour on a compute with 1 vCPU. Neon supports compute sizes ranging from .25 vCPU to 10 vCPU. See Compute for a compute hour formula you can use to estimate your compute usage.
- Projects: How many projects do you need? Neon recommends a project per application.
Step 3: Calculate extra usage fees
Based on your usage estimates, calculate the fees for extra storage units, compute hours, and project units.
important
On paid plans, extra usage is allocated and billed automatically when you exceed plan allowances
- However, extra usage fees for storage and projects are prorated for the month from the date of purchase, meaning that you are not billed the full amount if extra units of storage or projects are allocated partway through the month.
- Once an extra unit of storage or projects is allocated, you are billed for that extra unit for the remainder of the month. If you reduce your usage during that month and no longer require extra units of storage or projects, the extra usage charge is dropped at the beginning of the next month when your bill resets based on current usage. For more, see Extra usage.
For the Launch plan:
The Launch plan supports extra Storage and Compute. If you need extra projects, you'll need to move up to the Scale or Business plan.
- Extra Storage: If you exceed 10 GiB, extra storage is allocated in units of 2 GiB at $3.50 per unit.
- Extra Compute: If you exceed 300 compute hours, extra compute is billed at $0.16/hour.
| Resource | Unit | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Extra Storage | 2 GiB | $3.50 |
| Extra Compute | Compute hour | $0.16 |
For the Scale plan:
The Scale plan supports extra Storage, Compute, and Projects.
- Extra Storage: If you exceed 50 GiB, extra storage is allocated in increments of 10 GiB at $15 per increment.
- Extra Compute: If you exceed 750 compute hours, extra compute is billed at $0.16/hour.
- Extra Projects: If you exceed 50 projects, extra projects are allocated in units of 500 projects at $50 per unit.
| Resource | Unit | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Extra Storage | 10 GiB | $15.00 |
| Extra Compute | Compute hour | $0.16 |
| Extra Projects | 500 | $50.00 |
For the Business plan:
The Business plan supports extra Storage, Compute, and Projects.
- Extra Storage: If you exceed 500 GiB, extra storage is allocated in increments of 10 GiB at $5.00 per increment.
- Extra Compute: If you exceed 1,000 compute hours, extra compute is billed at $0.16/hour.
- Extra Projects: If you exceed 5000 projects, extra projects are allocated in units of 5000 projects at $50 per unit.
| Resource | Unit | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Extra Storage | 10 GiB | $5.00 |
| Extra Compute | Compute hour | $0.16 |
| Extra Projects | 5000 | $50.00 |
Step 4: Total monthly estimate
Add up your plan's monthly fee and extra usage fees to estimate your total monthly bill.
Total Estimate = Plan Fee + Extra Storage Fee + Extra Compute Fee + Extra Project FeeLaunch plan example
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Plan Fee | $19 |
| Storage Usage | 14 GiB (4 GiB over, $7 extra) |
| Compute Usage | 350 hours (50 hours over, $8 extra) |
| Total Estimate | $34 per month |
Scale plan example
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Plan Fee | $69 |
| Storage Usage | 60 GiB (10 GiB over, $15 extra) |
| Compute Usage | 800 hours (50 hours over, $8 extra) |
| Project Usage | 1005 projects (5 over, $50 extra for 500 pack) |
| Total Estimate | $142 per month |
Business plan example
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Plan Fee | $700 |
| Storage Usage | 510 GiB (20 GiB over, $15 extra) |
| Compute Usage | 1,150 hours (150 hours over, $24 extra) |
| Project Usage | 5108 projects (108 over, $50 extra for 5000 pack) |
| Total Estimate | $789 per month |
