Frequently asked questions

How much does Render cost?

Render Professional costs $19/mo per user and adds team features and higher limits, while individual compute (web services, databases) is billed separately per instance. Free tiers exist for static sites and hobby web services.

Is Render free to use?

Yes, Render offers free tiers for static sites and hobby web services with limits like spin-down after inactivity. Production workloads use paid instance types, and the Professional plan at $19/user/mo adds workspace features.

How does Render pricing compare to Railway?
