Render vs Railway

Pick a use. Plans the vendor’s own terms forbid for it turn grey and dashed. “Unknown” means we have not found a restriction in the page we read, not that none exists. Heights use a square-root scale so $5 and $599 both show.

Workspace fee steps $0, $25, $499 a month before any compute is billed. Free instances are not for production applications, per Render’s docs — its terms set no personal-use limit.

The fee is also usage credit: $5 or $20 a month buys the same amount of usage; going past it bills extra.
