Railway
Usage-based compute and databases for indie projects.
Per-second billing on whatever you deploy — a web service, a database, a cron job — with no separate product tiers to choose between.
Best for
Solo developers and small teams who want Heroku-style simplicity with modern usage-based pricing.
How it bills
Per-second usage billing on vCPU and RAM actually consumed, no flat instance tiers.
Strengths
- +Very simple deploy experience
- +True usage-based billing, no idle server tax
Trade-offs
- −No official pricing API — rates change without much notice
