Pricing | Free Trial | Deployment

  • First month: $5 or 500 hours of usage, credit card is not required

    • very active GitHub account
    • active usage on Railway
    • no spammy or abusive behaviour detected
  • Has Postgres, Redis, MongoDB, MySQL
  • Can't run an app 24/7 at a free tier because it offers only 500 hours of usage per month
  • Project deploys are stood down if credit limit OR execution hour limit is reached
  • Need to redeploy projects after the new monthly credit is applied to your account

  • Apps are limited to 4000 requests per hour (subsequent requests will return a 429 "Too Many Requests" response).
  • Apps have a limit of 200MB of disk space in the container. The contents of your apps's /tmp directory currently don't count towards that total. Those files are removed when the app restarts.
  • By default your node.js modules don't count towards that total - there's a separate 1GB limit for node modules.
  • There's an additional 512MB of assets storage space. The maximum file size per upload is limited to 256MB.
