What it costs.
Railway meters CPU and memory by use, so a mostly idle service costs less than the figure shown. For an always-on service, a fixed hourly rate is easier to plan around.
Railway prices are its published list prices, checked 2 October 2026, in US dollars converted at a card rate of ₦1,560 to the dollar. Naijacloud prices are read live from our rate card.
Key differences
A rate you can read
Each size has one hourly rate in naira. You see the estimate before you deploy and the running total while it runs.
In Nigeria
Run your app and database in Port Harcourt so requests from Nigerian users stay in the country.
Where Railway is ahead
Usage-based billing suits bursty or idle services, and Railway has a larger template gallery, a SOC 2 report and more regions.
Moving from Railway?
