How each price is built

Ownkube sells a database box by memory (DB 0.5 at $4 up to DB 16 at $104) plus storage at $0.25 per GB. It is priced on the Personal plan, whose $5 monthly fee loads $5 of wallet credit, so a bill under $5 still costs $5.

Render prices a Postgres instance plus $0.30 per GB. Heroku Essential plans share memory and cap storage at 1, 10 or 32 GB; from 4 GB of memory the calculator uses Standard plans, which include storage up to their cap. Standard-3 has 15 GB of memory and stands in for 16 GB.

Supabase is the $25 Pro plan, which includes $10 of compute credit and 8 GB of disk, then $0.125 per GB. Neon is the Launch plan at $0.106 per compute unit hour (about 4 GB of memory per unit, 0.25 units minimum) and $0.35 per GB, running all month.

Fly.io Managed Postgres plans include high availability, so the 4 GB and 8 GB rows both land on Launch. DigitalOcean is a single node; each plan includes a storage floor and adds $0.215 per GiB in 10 GiB steps. Railway is the Hobby plan, about $10 per GB of memory and $20 per vCPU a month plus $0.15 per GB of volume, with $5 of usage included.

How does this calculator pick a plan?

For each provider it takes the smallest plan with at least the memory you select, then adds storage at that provider's list rate. Where a plan caps storage (Heroku Essential, DigitalOcean), it moves up to the next plan that fits. Railway and Neon bill by usage, so they are priced from their per-unit rates.

Why does memory drive the price?

Postgres keeps hot data and indexes in memory, so memory is the size that decides whether queries stay fast. Every provider here sells databases by memory first, which makes it the fairest way to line them up.

Are backups included?

On Ownkube, 7-day backups with point-in-time restore are part of the $0.25 per GB storage rate on Personal and Team, turned on per database. Render, Supabase Pro, Fly.io, DigitalOcean and Heroku also include backups on the paid plans priced here, with different retention windows.

What about high availability?

The table prices one database instance. Fly.io Managed Postgres includes high availability on every plan. On Ownkube, the Team plan adds up to two standby instances with automatic failover, and each standby bills as another database box plus its own storage.

Why is Neon priced as always on?

A production database that serves traffic all day rarely idles long enough to scale to zero. The calculator assumes 730 hours of compute a month. A database that sleeps most of the day will cost less on Neon.

How current are these prices?
