If you have an application that runs 24*7, how do you determine what your costs will be?


(Neon PM) Do you have have an idea of the RAM or compute your application needs Many applications can run 24/7 with 1 GiB RAM on the Launch plan at $19/month.


(Neon ceo)

They never exceed the limit you set in the number of cpus.

In practice the cost a lot less than max number of cpus * time. Think about area under the curve of cpu(t).


Appreciate yall being active in here but this doesn't really answer the question. Neon looks really interesting to us, we're currently paying Heroku for a standard-5 postgres plan at $1400/month. But that's mostly for the 1 TB of storage, I have no idea how much "compute" we currently use.


You will likely save money on Neon. Please reach out to our team (contact sales, support or discord) and we will give you an estimate


Our Sales team would be happy to talk through pricing with you. Do you have any suggestions on where we could clearer to people like yourself who are in the same position?

Storage costs can be calculated as something along the lines of:

    size of current database * retention period (configurable) + compute hours
