Based on customer feedback, we have added a few more PostgreSQL service plan options to our offering.

All plans except Hobbyist now have four size variants each. We have also doubled the SSD disk space in our plans!

All plans include daily full backups and real-time streaming of incremental backups. Recovery to any point in time is supported. Also, forking a new database from any point in time in the backup history is possible.

 Basic single-node plans

  • Hobbyist: 1 CPU, 1 GB RAM, 8 GB SSD at $19 / month ($0.026 / hour)
  • Startup-4: 1 CPU, 4 GB RAM, 50 GB SSD at $75 / month ($0.103 / hour)
  • Startup-8: 2 CPU, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB SSD at $150 / month ($0.205 / hour)
  • Startup-16: 4 CPU, 16 GB RAM, 200 GB SSD at $300 / month ($0.411 / hour)
  • Startup-32: 8 CPU, 32 GB RAM, 400 GB SSD at $600 / month ($0.822 / hour)

Startup plans store backup history for the last 24 hours.

Plans with a standby-node and automatic failover

The Business plans add a level of redundancy with a hot standby node that takes over if the master server stops functioning:

  • Business-4: 1 CPU, 4 GB RAM, 50 GB SSD at $200 / month ($0.274 / hour)
  • Business-8: 2 CPU, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB SSD at $400 / month ($0.548 / hour)
  • Business-16: 4 CPU, 16 GB RAM, 200 GB SSD at $800 / month ($1.096 / hour)
  • Business-32: 8 CPU, 32 GB RAM, 400 GB SSD at $1600 / month ($2.192 / hour)

Business plans have a full backups history over the last 14 days.

Plans with two standby nodes

The Premium plans add a second hot standby node, which means all database transactions are written to two nodes even during the time of a node failover.

  • Premium-4: 1 CPU, 4 GB RAM, 50 GB SSD at $300 / month ($0.411 / hour)
  • Premium-8: 2 CPU, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB SSD at $600 / month ($0.822 / hour)
  • Premium-16: 4 CPU, 16 GB RAM, 200 GB SSD at $1200 / month ($1.644 / hour)
  • Premium-32: 8 CPU, 32 GB RAM, 400 GB SSD at $2400 / month ($3.288 / hour)

Premium plans have a full backups history over the last 30 days.
