What it does

Neon is serverless Postgres: storage and compute are separate, compute scales up and down to zero on its own, and a database can be branched like code.

Who it suits

Apps and preview environments that need one Postgres database per branch or per project, with idle databases costing nothing.

Price

Free: $0, up to 100 projects, 100 compute-unit hours and 1 GB of storage per project; compute suspends after 5 minutes idle. Launch: usage-based, $0.106 per compute-unit hour and $0.35 per GB-month, no monthly minimum. Scale: $0.222 per compute-unit hour.
