Our recommendation

When to choose it

Start with Neon for this database role when your app already has a backend and needs PostgreSQL. Decide separately which other Neon services to adopt.

A good fit for

  • A PostgreSQL database for an existing app backend
  • SQL projects needing an independent database provider

Choose something else when

Choose Turso instead when SQLite compatibility or local-first synchronization is an actual requirement.

Watch out for

  • A database connection string is a credential. Keep privileged connections on the server.
  • Neon also offers backend services; do not assume this database choice automatically configures authentication or storage.

How costs work

Usage-based compute and storage plans

Check current project settings, compute behavior and storage usage before estimating a monthly bill.

Check current official terms and pricing ↗

This is a pricing model, not a monthly quote. Check your region, intended usage and current plan before buying.

What connects to it

  • PostgreSQL clients and SQL tools
  • Server and serverless application backends

These are technical connections you can configure. Selecting a card creates no accounts or resources.
