Pick Neon if builders who will stay on Free $0 (100 CU-hours/project, 1 GB, 10 branches), then move to Launch (pay-as-you-go, $0.106/CU-hour, $0.35/GB-month) when writes or idle-always-on matter. Pick Supabase if app teams who will stay on Free at $0 (paused after 1 week of inactivity) while they open a first Table Editor, then buy Pro at $25 / month (first project included, extra projects $10 / mo) or Team at $599
