Hello all,
anyone using this template https://railway.com/deploy/QA-TYt and willing to share costs of usage?
Planned usage:
like 100 blog posts
some frontend stuff
maybe 100 people visiting daily
basically wondering:
how much would this cost me monthly? anyone already running something similar?
Thanks

Hi Marek,
I’m not using the template you mentioned, but I can help calculate a rough estimate for your setup. Based on Railway’s pricing structure, your expected monthly cost would be around $5–10.
Your Setup Will Include:
- WordPress backend (MySQL database + PHP)
- Next.js frontend
Resource Usage Estimate (for ~100 daily visitors / 3,000 per month, with 100 blog posts):
- Compute (CPU/Memory): Light traffic like yours will use minimal resources. Estimated Cost: ~$2–4/month
- Egress (Bandwidth): 100 visitors/day × 30 days = 3,000 visits Average page size ~2–3 MB (with images) Total: ~6–9 GB/month Estimated Cost: 0.60–0.90/month (at 0.10/GB)
- Storage (Volumes): WordPress files, database, and images Estimated: ~5–10 GB Estimated Cost: ~$0.10–0.20/month
Please note that the actual cost may still vary depending on your usage. You can also configure Usage Limits to set a maximum limit for a billing cycle. If your resource usage exceeds that limit, workloads will be shut down to prevent further charges.

So maybe as a helper for the others, I have deployed it for one day and the MySQL was eating up to 453Mb RAM so it was totaling 891Mb RAM.
That would account to roughly:
Per minute: 0.891 GB × $0.000231 = $0.0002058
- Per hour: $0.0002058 × 60 = $0.01235
- Per day: $0.01235 × 24 = $0.296
- Per month (31 days): $0.296 × 31 = $9.18/month for memory alone
+ CPU + some Egress. For dummy site with few users..
I managed to lower the cost with some MySQL optimization and dedicating lower RAM to project in settings, will report after one month usage. But for such page and basic setup I believe somewhere around 5-6 USD would be optimal cost.
Will keep updated.
