The Railway team is introducing changes to their pricing and plans for 2023, which will become available on July 3rd and conclude on August 1st. The new plans include Trial, Hobby, and Pro, with the goal of providing better service and support to production users and teams. The changes aim to disincentivize abuse by introducing charges for certain dimensions of usage, such as network egress. The free plan will be replaced by a one-time grant of $5 in credits, while developers on Starter plans will have distinct migration paths. The Hobby plan will cost $5 per month with $5 of usage included, and verified users will receive the subscription fee waived. Network charges for egress will start at $0.10 per GB, but no charge for ingress will be applied. The changes are intended to elevate the level of service and support provided to legitimate users, while reducing the fraud load dealt with in support.
