# Render pricing

PaaS positioned as the alternative to Heroku for developers who want simple Docker/Node deploys with Postgres and Redis included. Distinctive for a genuine free tier for personal projects and its focus on Docker-native deploys (Vercel/Netlify are frontend-only). Priced $19-$225/mo across four tiers. Popular with Series A/B startups migrating off Heroku after its 2022 free-tier removal, indie hackers, and Rails/Django teams.

## Current entry price

**$25/month** billed monthly. **$25/month** billed annually.

| Scale | $499 | $499 | SSO + SCIM + HIPAA + multi-workspace |

## Recommendation

In other words, Render is worth it for developers building full-stack web apps that want Heroku-style ease with cheaper pricing — particularly for teams that need PostgreSQL + Redis + background workers in one platform. Free tier covers hobby projects; Individual covers indie devs; Team adds collaboration; Scale for larger production apps. Very easy setup (Git connect, deploy in minutes). Native integrations with GitHub, GitLab, and popular frameworks. Downside: recent move to flat $25/mo Pro pricing (from per-seat) triggered legacy account migration confusion, and edge network smaller than Vercel/Netlify.

## Alternative to consider

Next.js team? Pick Vercel. Static site + serverless? Netlify. Full-stack Postgres with auth? Supabase.

## Vendor context

April 2026: moved to flat workspace plans. Free Hobby tier; Pro $25/mo flat with unlimited members; Scale $499/mo. Compute and bandwidth billed separately.
