Self-Host vs Cloud

Use Self-Host for private databases (VPC, on-premises). Use Cloud for public cloud databases (Neon, Supabase, RDS with public IP).

	Self-Host	Cloud
Database Access	Private networks, VPC, on-premises	Public cloud databases only
Available Plans	Free, Enterprise	Free, Pro, Enterprise
Setup	~5 minutes (Docker)	Instant
Maintenance	You manage updates	Automatic
Location	Your infrastructure	Google Cloud US

The Pro plan is cloud-only. Self-hosted deployments use the Free plan or require an Enterprise license. Self-hosted Free instances can start a 14-day Enterprise trial.
