Pricing

Free-to-start hobby tier. You get a $5 credit every month, but must have a credit card attached. You can manually add people to projects. 8 GB RAM / 8 vCPU per Service max. PR deploys and Monorepo support.

Pro tier which supports teams is $20 / month / person, plus resource usage. 32 GB RAM / 32 vCPU per Service.

Railway Metal

Railway had terrible issues with Google Cloud, and have migrated a bulk of systems to Railway Metal, their own managed hardware.

As part of Railway Metal, the $20 / month minimum spend means there are no team fees.

You can also buy Railway on AWS Marketplace – which looks like $10KUSD / year – where you can use it to run / deploy to public clouds.
