📝 Our Take on Railway Pricing
Railway is what Heroku should have become. One-click databases, usage-based pricing, and a beautiful UI. The $5 free credit is enough for small hobby projects.
Usage-based pricing makes costs unpredictable. A typical Next.js + Postgres app costs $5-15/mo. Compare with Supabase (free Postgres) + Vercel (free hosting).
