Questions

How did you get Neon's monthly price?

Neon's Launch plan is $0.106 per CU-hour and a CU is about 4 GB of memory; running all month is 730 hours. It costs less when the database sleeps.

Can I move from Neon?

Yes. Move in keeps a copy in sync while your app keeps running, then switches over.
