  "tagline": "Container PaaS, usage-based",
  "price": "Trial: $5 credit for 30 days. Hobby $5/mo including $5 usage. Pro $20/seat/mo including $20. Compute $20 per vCPU-month and $10 per GB RAM-month, egress $0.05/GB, billed per second.",
  "tier": "mixed",
  "pick": false,
  "what": "Usage-based container PaaS that deploys any Dockerfile or auto-detected framework alongside one-click Postgres, Redis and Mongo. Subscription fees include an equal usage credit; past that you pay $20 per vCPU-month, $10 per GB RAM-month and $0.05 per GB egress.",
  "why": "Fastest path from a repo plus a database to a live URL — templates, private networking and env var references just work. Ideal when your Vite frontend needs a real always-on API and Postgres beside it.",
  "warn": "Egress at $0.05/GB is 2.5x Fly and 5x Bunny, so never serve media from it. Railway does offer a <b>true hard usage limit</b>: set one in workspace settings and all workloads go offline at 100% — note they do not auto-restart, you must restart manually.",
