When You'll Outgrow Turso's Free Tier

Pricing Change History (1 recorded)

Retracted — this record was our error (2026-09-05). Retracted 2026-09-05: Turso's free tier was not reduced. turso.tech/pricing, fetched 2026-09-05, states the Free column as "Databases Free 100", "Storage Free 5GB", "Monthly Rows Read Free 500 Million" and "Monthly Rows Written Free 10 Million" — all four are the figures our stored description already carried. This record's own summary says the same in its own words: "500 Million rows read/month and 10 Million rows written/month, matching previously" and "The free tier now includes 5GB of storage. Previously 5GB." This row was our error, not a change Turso made. Source ↗

How Turso compares against every one of the 13 we list, not against a selection of them. A surface with room for every member of a tied set may rotate their order. A surface with room for only some of them names none of them, because which ones it named would be the claim, and a claim seeded on the date is not the one we serve tomorrow. How we decide this.
