Neon doubles Free plan storage to 1 GB per project, up from 0.5 GB
What happened
Between the Sep 28, 2026 and Oct 5, 2026 captures of Neon's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Free plan storage per project doubled from 0.5 GB to 1 GB, in both the plan card and the comparison table. Pulse files it as a packaging change (limit increase) 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 49 days after Neon's previous change, "Neon: spending limits replaced with alert-only notifications" (Aug 17, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Neon: AI Gateway drops post-beta "no markup" pricing guarantee" (Jul 27, 2026) and "Neon adds beta Backend suite (Object Storage, Functions, AI Gateway); renames" (Jul 20, 2026). Neon has been tracked since 2026-04-26.
In the same window Vercel, Digitalocean, Google Cloud and Netlify also changed their Cloud & DevOps pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
