Hasura Pricing in May 2026

Hasura's standard pricing follows tiered structure: Free for personal/hobby use (limited features), Cloud Standard at $1.50/active hour ($100/month minimum), Cloud Professional at $3/active hour, Enterprise custom-quote. Self-hosted Hasura is genuinely free under Apache 2.0 license. Real-world Hasura Cloud bills for production GraphQL APIs land at $100-1,000/month for early-stage usage; mid-stage products hit $2K-15K/month.

The Free Plan offer covers basic GraphQL API generation indefinitely. Eligibility is broad. The strategic decision: Hasura's value is the auto-generated GraphQL API on Postgres (and other supported databases) with built-in authorization — point Hasura at your database, get a fully-featured GraphQL API with permissions, subscriptions, and remote-schema joining. For teams choosing GraphQL specifically without writing custom resolvers, Hasura collapses what's typically weeks of API engineering. The free tier is the right time to validate whether Hasura's specific approach matches your team's API architecture. For broader auto-generated-API alternatives, PostgREST generates REST APIs from Postgres with a similar declarative approach. Postgraphile generates GraphQL from Postgres similarly to Hasura, often preferred for tighter Postgres-specific integration. Apollo Server with custom resolvers handles GraphQL when you want full control. Prisma Studio + custom GraphQL handles similar with more code. For specifically Supabase, Supabase auto-generates REST and GraphQL APIs from Postgres with similar patterns to Hasura — usually preferred when bundled BaaS features matter. For specifically AppSync (AWS), this targets AWS-native GraphQL APIs. For specifically tRPC for TypeScript-only stacks, this targets type-safe APIs without GraphQL or REST-as-such. Hasura vs Postgraphile vs Supabase decision: Hasura for most flexibility with multiple database support; Postgraphile for tighter Postgres integration; Supabase when bundled BaaS features matter.
