Nile

What it is for

Nile is a hosted multi-tenant Postgres desk: you open Tenants, and Free is $0. Use it when the job is tenant-isolated Postgres you start at $0, not when you need a $20 chat seat.

What makes it unique: the cover is the official Nile Tenants list (todoapp_demo / demo_nextjs us-west-2, 41 tenants / 34 users / 0 logins today, tennant / uhgj rows) from the docs still — not a pricing card. The rows themselves are ops of Tenants. Nile bills a base tile + query tokens + GB, not a chat seat.

Key features

• Tenants — a B2B customer you isolate under one database (cover still; docs; pricing). One tenant. Cover 41 tenants, Create a tenant, and tenant insights retention sit here.
• Users — an identity you attach to tenants (Users still; docs). A person, not a tenant. Cover 34 users and the Users tab sit here. Unlimited active users on every printed tile.
• Databases — a Postgres you create in a workspace (cover demo_nextjs; pricing Databases). One database. Unlimited databases and tenant DBs on Free / Pro / Scale.
• Workspaces — the org folder that holds those databases ([cover todoapp_demo]). A workspace, not a database. Workspace sharing prints on Pro+.
• Auth connections — social / magic / email (and SAML / MFA on Scale) you attach to tenants (pricing Auth). A connection, not a user. Enterprise SAML and MFA print Coming soon on Free / Pro.

Query tokens and GB are the meters. The CLI / SDK is install. Provisioned compute and branching print Coming soon — not a sixth desk we invent.

Who it's for

Best fit: B2B app teams who will stay on Free at $0 (50 million query tokens, 1 GB) while they open a first Tenants list, then buy Pro at $15 / month when they want 150 million tokens, 5 GB, and the 99.95% SLA.

Pricing

• Free — $0. No pauses. 50 million query tokens, then $0.06 per million. 1 GB storage, then $1.50 / GB. 500 connections. Unlimited databases, tenant DBs, embeddings, users, tenants. Community support. Tenant insights 1 day.
• Pro — $15 / month. 150 million query tokens, then $0.05 / million. 5 GB, then $1.00 / GB. 10,000 connections. 99.95% SLA. Workspace sharing. Tenant insights longer than Free.
• Scale — $350 / month. 500 million query tokens, then $0.04 / million. 50 GB, then $0.75 / GB. 100,000 connections. 99.99% SLA. SAML / MFA. Tenant insights 2 months.
• Enterprise — Contact support@thenile.dev. Do not invent an Enterprise dollar.
• Usage meters on the calculator we fetched — storage $1.00 / GB after the Pro 5 GB include; serverless compute $0.05 / million query tokens after the Pro 150 million include.

Confirm checkout; taxes follow your location.

Limitations / costs

• Free is 50 million query tokens and 1 GB. A busy tenant week still invoices $0.06 / million and $1.50 / GB.
• SAML and MFA print Coming soon on Free / Pro. Scale is the tile that lists them as present.
• A tenant-Postgres desk, not a branch-per-PR host. For Xata’s $0.012 / hr branches see Xata. For Neon’s scale-to-zero see Neon.

Alternatives

• Neon — serverless Postgres when you want Neon’s branch model, not Nile’s tenant table.
• Xata — Postgres branching when you want copy-on-write branches billed from $0.012 / hr, not tenant isolation.
• PlanetScale — branching MySQL / Postgres when you want PlanetScale’s production-branch desk, not Nile Auth.
