| Free tier | 50 million query tokens a month, unlimited databases and unlimited tenants per workspace, 1 GB storage included, up to 500 connections, in one region, with no pause on the free tier unit tokens; metered on request-count |
|---|
| Price | none stated |

| Limits | - request-rate (binding) 50 million query tokens a month, then USD 0.06 per million additional tokens source
- per-object-cap 1 GB of storage included, then USD 1.50 per additional GB source
- request-rate (binding) 500 connections on Free; Pro raises it to 10,000 and Scale to 100,000 source

|---|
| Binding | request-rate the token counter is the only hard meter. Storage and connections overage are both purchasable on the free tier without changing plan, and no pause or deletion is published, so the counter is what a reader designs against. |
|---|
| Identity | email email signup; no card stated for the Free plan |
|---|
| Egress | no egress allowance and no per-GB transfer line is published; the metered quantity is query tokens and storage |
|---|
| Per-object cap | 1 GB of storage included on Free, then USD 1.50 per additional GB; no per-database cap is published, because the limits are per workspace and split across unlimited databases (1000000000 bytes) |
|---|
| Retention | no deletion clock is published and the free tier does not pause: 'No, the db never pauses. We don't have any cold start time on the free tier.' The page publishes no inactivity or expiry policy for a free database |
|---|
| Interface | rest, cli the Postgres wire protocol plus a control-plane API for tenant provisioning |
|---|
| Tooling | psql and any Postgres client; the Nile SDK |
|---|
| Composes with | a multi-tenant Postgres where the tenant count is free and the query volume is the meter, which is the opposite shape from a per-database free tier |
|---|
| Reliability | no pauses and no cold start claimed on the free tier; no reliability event observed |
|---|
| Notes | A query token is an abstract unit of CPU and memory the page defines but does not convert, so the allowance cannot be expressed in rows or bytes. That is a discretionary meter in the sense that matters: there is no ceiling a reader can design against, only a price per unit. What is not published is any inactivity or expiry policy, and the free tier is the only one in this topic where 'never pauses' is stated by the vendor. |
|---|
| Evidence note | documented the pricing page was read for the allowances, the overage rates and the connection counts. The 'never pauses' and the overage-rather-than-refusal answers are the page's own FAQ, read through a search snippet because the collapsed answers do not survive extraction. |
