API calls
500K a month
Card
Not needed

What the free plan includes

  • One PostgreSQL 18 database with 500 MB of storage.
  • 500K API calls a month across REST and GraphQL.
  • PgBouncer pooling and TLS end to end, as on every plan.
  • Manual backups you download as a .tar file.
  • Scoped API keys, browser access from the origins you allow.

Good for

Side projects, prototypes, hackathons, coursework and small production apps. Learn SQL against a real Postgres server, back a static site with the REST API, or give a mobile app a GraphQL backend without writing one.

When you need more

Starter adds three databases, 5 GB and MCP for AI agents for RM 7 a month; Pro adds ten databases, 20 GB and direct connection strings for RM 29 a month. Both are billed yearly in Ringgit. Upgrading adds room at once: your database stays where it is.

If you reach 500 MB, your database pauses instead of being deleted, and resumes within ten minutes of being back under the limit.

Questions

Is it really free forever?+

Yes. The free plan has no end date and no card on file.

Can I connect with psql on the free plan?+

The free plan reaches its database through REST and GraphQL. Direct connection strings, for psql and ORMs, come with Pro.

Will my free database be deleted?+

No. Over the storage limit it pauses; nothing is deleted for you.
