Trial
Kicking the tyres.
- A one-off credit grant
- Limited resources and no custom domains on some services
▸ Pricing explainedRailway pricing: every plan, explained
Deploy apps and databases without configuring infrastructure.
Railway charges a small subscription that includes some usage, then bills the compute, memory and network your services actually consume. There is no free forever tier for production work — a trial credit, then you're on a plan.
This means two identical plans can produce very different bills. What matters is whether your services sleep when idle and how much memory they hold.

Plan names and inclusions follow Railway's own tiers and can change. We don't publish figures here — message us and you'll get the current price before you commit.
What actually drives the cost
- Usage is metered per second of CPU and per GB of memory — an idle service still costs if it stays resident.
- Databases run continuously, so they're often the largest single line on a small bill.
- Egress bandwidth is billed separately from compute.
- The included credit covers a small app comfortably; anything with a database and a worker will exceed it.

- Is Railway expensive compared to a VPS?
- Per unit of compute, yes. You're paying for never touching a server, automatic builds, managed databases and zero-downtime deploys — which is cheap if your time is worth anything and expensive if you enjoy sysadmin work.
- How do I avoid a surprise bill?
- Set a usage limit on the project, put non-production services to sleep, and watch the memory footprint of your database — it's almost always the quiet cost.
- How much does Railway cost through TechToolz?
- We quote the current price on WhatsApp, because it moves with the plan, the term and what's in stock at the time. Message us with the plan you want and you'll get the figure straight away, before you commit to anything.
- Is the Railway subscription genuine?
- Yes. It's an authentic Railway subscription activated on your own account — you sign in to Railway normally and keep every feature the plan includes. Nothing is shared, cracked or modified.
- How quickly is it delivered?
- Same day in almost every case, usually within the hour. You get a message the moment Railway Hobby is live on your account, and a 48-hour replacement guarantee if anything goes wrong with activation.
