Moving from Neon to Cloudflare D1
A cost comparison and planning checklist. These are assessment steps, not vendor-specific migration instructions.
Neon
Serverless Postgres with autoscaling, database branching, and scale-to-zero.
Not modeled
Free Tier
Official pricing · Checked 2026-10-08
Cost breakdown and exclusions
- Neon requires compute-unit hours. Row counts, storage and transfer do not establish compute use or Free plan eligibility.
- This pricing model is not supported.
- Compute usage and capacity are not collected by this category. No complete Neon price can be calculated.
Cloudflare D1
Managed SQLite with row-based metering.
$5.00 / month
Workers Paid + D1
Official pricing · Checked 2026-10-05
Cost breakdown and exclusions
- Monthly subscription: $5.00
- Rows read (25,000,000,000 included): $0
- Rows written (50,000,000 included): $0
- Stored data (5 included): $0
- Includes the required $5 Workers subscription. If Workers is already in your stack, that subscription is shared. Free daily row limits are not modeled.
- Worker request/CPU usage to call the database and sharding across multiple databases.
Recurring cost difference
A savings figure cannot be established for this workload.
Not calculated. Estimate migration labor, overlapping subscriptions, transfer charges and contract obligations before dividing those costs by any monthly savings.
What this comparison covers
One database without replication or embedded sync. D1 and Turso use SQLite-compatible engines; Supabase uses PostgreSQL. These are cost alternatives, not interchangeable runtimes. Supabase models one Micro instance; its performance is not inferred from row counts.
Evaluating 2 products from 4 published in this category. USD monthly equivalents, before tax. Features and service compatibility need separate evaluation.

Questions before you decide
Does a lower monthly estimate mean the migration pays for itself?
Not calculated. Estimate migration labor, overlapping subscriptions, transfer charges and contract obligations before dividing those costs by any monthly savings.
Is this a guaranteed migration procedure?
No. This assessment identifies decisions to verify with official provider documentation. It does not establish interoperability, data portability, zero downtime or a rollback guarantee.
