Neon vs PlanetScale

Why we chose Neon instead of PlanetScale

Neon is truly serverless and its pricing is usage-based so we only pay for what we use. You can have unlimited branches, and they support data branching out of the box.

PlanetScale only offers unlimited branches and data branching in their Team plan which costs $599/mo.

The downside with using Neon instead of PlanetScale is that we have to deal with migrations ourselves using Prisma Migrate instead of PlanetScale’s non-blocking schema changes.
