| Pricing | 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 | Not published — vCore price cells render client-side per region/currency and resolved to placeholders when retrieved · free tier: With an Azure free account: up to 750 hours of Burstable compute and 32 GB of storage per month for 12 months at no cost |
| Pricing model | Subscription with usage-based add-ons | Usage-based (per compute SKU plus storage; pay-as-you-go, savings plan, or 1/3-year reservations) |
| Best for | 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. | Organisations already standardised on Azure identity, networking and enterprise agreements that need managed PostgreSQL with zone-redundant HA, in-database vector search, or Azure Government regions, and that can commit to reservations or a savings plan for predictable workloads. |
| Avoid if | 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. | You need a firm published monthly price before procurement, may need to shrink storage after right-sizing, cannot tolerate platform-initiated maintenance windows, or are not otherwise on Azure — outside the ecosystem the differentiators shrink. |

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.
