| Pricing | Not published (vendor pricing page could not be retrieved this session); third parties cite Flex from roughly $8/month and dedicated M10 at roughly $0.08/hour (~$57/month) · free tier: M0 free cluster; third-party sources describe 512MB storage with shared RAM and vCPU. Capterra's provider listing records a free version but no free trial. | Pro from $25/mo (additional projects from $10/mo) · free tier: $0/mo: unlimited API requests, 50,000 MAU, 500 MB database, shared CPU/500 MB RAM, 5 GB egress, 5 GB cached egress, 1 GB file storage, community support; projects paused after 1 week of inactivity, max 2 active projects, no backups/PITR/branching |
| Pricing model | Usage-based with tiered cluster sizes (free tier available) | Subscription with usage-based add-ons |
| Best for | Development teams with variable or document-shaped data who value developer velocity and multi-cloud freedom, and teams that want vector and full-text search in the same managed engine as their operational data. | Small to mid-sized product teams with at least one SQL-comfortable engineer who need a relational database plus auth, storage and realtime from a single open-source vendor and want to ship fast. |
| Avoid if | You are on a fixed budget with no FinOps oversight, are new to databases, are fully committed to one hyperscaler whose native service integrates better, or have genuinely relational, heavily transactional workloads better served by Postgres. | You are a non-technical builder, need SOC 2/ISO 27001/SSO/HIPAA at modest spend, require annual invoicing and procurement-friendly terms, want only a plain managed database, or cannot tolerate a billing dispute turning into a service suspension. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
