ONVIX vs
Neon.

Neon is serverless Postgres with branching and scale-to-zero. But it's just a database — no auth, no storage, no email, no deployment. And compute-time billing means your costs grow unpredictably. ONVIX gives you five backend services with flat pricing and a free tier on everything.

The shift

A database is only one piece

Neon gives you a great serverless Postgres. But your app also needs auth, storage, email, and deployment. With Neon, you're still stitching together 4+ vendors to build a complete backend.

Compute-time billing adds up

Neon charges per compute-second. Long-running queries, background jobs, or just a busy day can spike your bill. ONVIX charges a flat monthly price — no surprises.

PostgreSQL for everything?

Postgres is powerful for complex relational workloads. But for most apps, SQLite is faster, simpler, and uses a fraction of the resources. ONVIX uses managed SQLite — sub-millisecond reads with zero connection pooling hassle.

At a glance

Two different
philosophies.

ONVIX

Complete backend platform

✓Five services — deploy, database, auth, storage, email
✓Flat pricing — no compute-time billing
✓Natural language queries for the whole team
✓Managed SQLite — sub-ms reads, zero pooling config
✓Git push deployment built-in
✓Free tier on everything — no credit card

Neon

Serverless Postgres

—Database only — no auth, storage, email, or deploy
—Compute-second billing with usage caps
—No natural language query interface
—PostgreSQL — powerful but resource-heavy
—No deployment service
—Free tier limited by compute hours

Who should use what

The right tool for
your situation.

Choose ONVIX if you…

→Need more than just a database — auth, storage, email, deploy
→Want flat pricing instead of compute-time billing
→Prefer natural language queries for non-technical team members
→Want a lightweight database without connection pooling complexity
→Are building a complete app, not just connecting to a database
→Want one provider instead of five

Neon might be right if you…

—Need PostgreSQL specifically for advanced features (CTEs, window functions, extensions)
—Want database branching for preview environments
—Already have auth, storage, and deployment handled elsewhere
—Need PostGIS or other Postgres extensions
—Run complex analytical queries that benefit from Postgres's query planner
