Neon adds beta Backend suite (Object Storage, Functions, AI Gateway); renames...
What happened
Between the Jul 13, 2026 and Jul 20, 2026 captures of Neon's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Neon added a new Backend product suite (Object Storage, Functions, AI Gateway) in beta, plus renamed Auth to Managed Better Auth, across Free, Launch, and Scale plan cards and the comparison table. Pulse files it as a product change (feature added) with an upward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 19, 2026) lists Launch at $0.11 per CU-hour + $0.2 per GB-month (history/instant restore storage) and Scale at $0.2 per GB-month (history/instant restore storage) + $0.35 per GB-month (database storage).
It lands 20 days after Neon's previous change, "Neon quietly unlocks MFA on Launch and Scale plans" (Jun 29, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Neon launches Compute, Object Storage, and AI Gateway products" (Jun 2, 2026) and "Neon adds snapshots and scheduled backups across all plans" (May 19, 2026). Neon has been tracked since 2026-04-26.
In the same window Digitalocean, Vercel, Netlify and Google Cloud also changed their Cloud & DevOps pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
