Neon, a company offering a cloud-native Postgres solution, has introduced new pricing plans called Launch and Scale to address developers' demand for predictable pricing and to simplify the billing process. After gaining insights from over half a million databases and user feedback, Neon recognized that the complexity of their previous pricing model, particularly regarding data transfer fees, led to customer confusion and unexpected costs. The new Launch plan caters to developers with initial or development workloads, while the Scale plan is designed for larger production environments, offering scalable compute and storage resources. To further ease the billing process, Neon has eliminated written data and data transfer fees, aiming to pass cost savings to customers. Additionally, Neon maintains a generous free tier to support projects until they are ready for launch and has incorporated community feedback to enhance free-tier offerings.
