Estimate MySQL and PostgreSQL hosting costs

Oct 18, 2026VPSYOU

Compare database bills using the same workload assumptions.

Database hosting prices are easier to compare when every estimate uses the same workload. VPSYOU lets you adjust CPU, memory, active hours, primary storage and outbound transfer, then share the comparison URL.

Start with the billing model

Railway uses metered resources with a plan minimum. The estimate takes the greater of metered usage and that minimum; it does not add the minimum twice. Neon estimates compute-unit hours and primary storage. Fixed VPS prices describe a machine that you administer yourself, rather than an equivalent managed database service.

Check what is excluded

An estimate may omit backups, point-in-time recovery, replicas, support, tax or region-specific charges. Products that require a regional configuration or a sales quote keep their price unknown until a reproducible configuration is available.

Check freshness

Open the price evidence below each product to see the official source, last successful check and observation history. A failed update preserves the previous value and shows its age. This is a planning estimate; the supplier's current billing terms control the actual bill.

Compare MySQL or compare PostgreSQL with your own assumptions.
