Prisma Postgres and Neon use fundamentally different billing models — Prisma charges per operation (query), while Neon charges per compute-hour. A side-by-side comparison breaks down free tiers, paid plan costs, storage, and egress. Prisma Postgres starts at $10/month with 1M operations included and free egress, making it predictable for active apps. Neon has no base fee so quiet months can cost very little, but storage and egress are metered. The verdict: Prisma is easier to budget for steady workloads; Neon suits many idle databases or very occasional usage. Developers are advised to model their own traffic before committing, as usage rates change.
