What the free plan gives you
Free plan with 0.5GB storage. Taken from Neon's own pricing page, the free plan includes 100 CU-hours Per Project; up to 2 CU (8 GB RAM); after 5 minutes when inactive; free 0.5 GB per Project.
What it does
Neon covers copy-on-write, anonymization, ephemerality, databricks.
When you would pay
The free plan is bounded (free plan with 0.5GB storage), so treat it as a genuine trial of the product rather than a permanent home. It is enough to decide whether Neon fits before any money changes hands.
We list Neon because the free plan was checked against its own pricing page, not because a vendor asked. If it has changed, tell us and we will re-check it.
