…our worked examples, worksheet, FAQ) Martin's rewrite, applied with verified corrections: Pro is $49 and Business $129 per the live pricing page (draft had $29/$99; example 2 recomputed to $1,065.80, example 4 to $49), Neon autosuspend stated as default-with-disable nuance, unverified Neon compute-product claim removed, FAQ converted to accordions.

…tions billing wins), tidy all calculation blocks New example: 3.9M ops/month user-facing app: $33.10 on Starter vs ~$78.27 on always-on Neon (autosuspend off because users can't eat cold starts), with honesty notes on the 0.25 CU case (~$19) and the ~24M crossover. Analytics example (now 5) reframed to parity-at-short-jobs with the trend divergence worked (30-min jobs: ~$178 vs $49). All calculation blocks realigned to a consistent '=' column format.

Neon free tier includes 5 GB transfer; metaDescription says five examples; Neon spending limits stated accurately; example 4's 0.25 CU note now says the comparison inverts (not tightens) and justifies the 1 CU floor, with the summary bullet caveated; sentiment section reduced to linkable sources (HN thread linked, unverifiable Reddit/X claims cut, Neon 2.4x autoscaling report linked with precise paraphrase); timeout claims link the page with the actual limits (10-min pooled, none direct); cost-table cells distinguish included-free from feature-absent; FAQ CU formula fixed at 1 CU; example 2 anchor points at the pricing explainer.

What
Major expansion of the live
prisma-postgres-vs-neon-pricing-2026post (Martin's rewrite): per-plan tables with exact unit prices, five worked cost examples with reproducible math, a run-your-own-estimate worksheet, and an accordion FAQ including the direct "Is Prisma Postgres a good alternative to Neon?" entry. Same slug;updatedAtbumped. Reviewed and approved by Martin on localhost.Why now
GSC shows the page got a large freshness trial after publishing (up to ~1,600 impressions/day on "neon pricing"-class queries through July 4), converted almost none of it (~0.05% CTR), and was withdrawn from those queries on July 5 (site-level impressions steady, so page-specific). The rewrite gives the page a differentiated reason to be clicked and cited: worked math no official pricing page offers. After merge, request reindexing via GSC to trigger re-evaluation.
Verification
Every plan price and rate re-verified against the live Prisma and Neon pricing pages; all ten calculation blocks and every derived figure machine-recomputed. A Step 10 adversarial round found and fixed 12 issues, including two stale Prisma plan prices in the source draft (Pro/Business corrected to $49/$129 with examples recomputed), a wrong Neon free-tier transfer cell, an inaccurate Neon spend-controls characterization, and community-sentiment claims that couldn't be traced to primary sources (now linked: the HN launch thread and Neon's autoscaling report, or cut). Honest outcomes preserved: Neon wins three of the five examples outright.
