Hello. I'm new to railway and currently on the trial plan, which is expiring soon. I have my db hosted elsewhere currently, but I want to harmonize the db and my server together here on Railway.
What are the available plans for hosting a Postgresql db on railway in addition to the hobby plan I intend migrating to?

Hey there! We've found the following might help you get unblocked faster:
- 📚 PostgreSQL
- 🧵 Railway Support Request - Internal Database Connection Failure
- 🧵 Not able to deploy a new PostgreSQL database
- 🧵 PostgreSQL database backups
If you find the answer from one of these, please let us know by solving the thread!

Hi there 👋
Railway offers a few plans for single PostgreSQL deploys alongside your Hobby plan:
• Hobby – $5/month
Includes $5 in usage credits. You get up to 8 GB RAM, 8 vCPU, and modest storage. If you use more resources, you’ll pay the difference at ~$10/GB‑month (RAM), ~$20/vCPU‑month, $0.15/GB storage, and $0.05/GB egress .
• Pro – $20/month
Includes $20 usage credit. Supports up to 32 GB RAM, 32 vCPU, bigger volumes, team seats, and priority support.
In short: start with Hobby, and if your DB usage plus app takes you above $5/month, you’ll only pay for what you exceed. Pro gives you more headroom, and Enterprise is for serious scale.
Hope that helps!
