Railway Pricing in 2026: What You Actually Pay
Railway pricing in 2026 is usage-based: you pay $20 per vCPU and $10 per GB of RAM per month, billed by the second, plus $0.05 per GB of egress and $0.15 per GB of volume storage. Hobby is $5 a month with $5 of usage included; Pro is $20 a month per workspace, not per seat, with unlimited seats and $20 of usage included. There is no permanent free tier, only a 30-day $5 trial, so a small always-on app runs about $5 to $22 a month and a modest production stack near $70.
