Additional costs
Only pay for what you use.
Nothing hidden. Nothing automatic.
Transparent managed PostgreSQL pricing means every cost is documented upfront. No surprise line items at month-end.
Usage-based overages
Automatically applied if you exceed your plan's included limits. No action needed – you're never cut off.
Kicks in after your tier's included egress (10 / 100 / 500 / 1,000 GB).
Region-aware pricing. Based on your storage type and region. Price shown is for gp3 in the selected region.
Incremental EBS snapshots stored in S3. Scales with DB size, change rate, and retention (7d Starter / 30d Pro).
Pro and above. WAL segments archived to S3 for point-in-time recovery. Volume depends on write activity.
Optional add-ons
Only added if and when you explicitly enable them.
Dedicated public IPv4 address for direct connectivity.
Applied when replicas span availability zones. Based on replication volume between AZs.
Shared NAT Gateway cost for databases in private subnets needing internet access.
