| Pricing model | Per request | Compute storage |
| Example bill | $42 / month | $25.50 / month |
| Example bill basis | 1 database, ~5M operations/month, 10 GB storage (operations-priced, so an always-on compute size doesn't apply): Starter $10 + 4M × $8 = $42. Pro ($49) includes 10M operations and a 99.95% SLA. | 1 database, ~1 GB RAM always on, 10 GB storage, 50 GB egress, no HA: Pro $25 + Micro compute $10 − $10 credit + disk autoscaled 8→12 GB (4 × $0.125 = $0.50). Adding 7-day PITR (needs Small compute + $100 add-on) ≈ $130.50. |
