Our recommendation

When to choose it

Choose Turso when SQLite compatibility and local data behavior are part of your architecture. Use PostgreSQL for a conventional relational server backend.

A good fit for

  • SQLite-compatible applications
  • Projects with a deliberate local-first data design

Choose something else when

Prefer Neon when your backend or SQL tooling expects PostgreSQL.

Watch out for

  • SQLite-compatible does not mean interchangeable with PostgreSQL SQL, extensions or drivers.
  • Local synchronization needs a plan for authorization, conflicts and reconnecting.

How costs work

Hosted database plans and usage

Separate the local engine from hosted service billing, and check current limits for your deployment.

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

  • SQLite-compatible tooling
  • Local and hosted database workflows

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