Prisma Postgres
billed per database operation, which makes it either the cheapest thing here or uncomparable — and for our anchor, uncomparable.
a genuinely different pricing model that suits a lot of real applications and cannot be placed against a fixed always-on workload.
prisma postgres charges per database operation rather than per provisioned hour, so there is no instance running up a bill while nothing happens. for a low-traffic application that inverts the economics of everything else here, and the free tier — 100,000 operations, 500mb, fifty databases, no card — is a real starting point.
the business plan at $129 includes fifty million operations and exactly 100gb of storage, so our anchor's storage sits inside the allowance. what it can't tell you is what the compute costs, because the anchor specifies hours and prisma bills queries. depending on your query volume the same workload could cost a fraction of aws's $128 or a multiple of it.
the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
