description: >-
  Railway combines a flat monthly subscription with usage-based billing for the
  compute, memory, egress, and storage each service actually consumes, metered
  per second. The GraphQL Public API is available on every paid plan; the plan a
  workspace is on determines the API rate limit (requests per hour and requests
  per second). Plans are Trial (one-time $5 credit), Hobby ($5/month), Pro
  ($20/month per seat), and Enterprise (custom).
notes: >-
  Subscription prices and per-resource rates as published on the Railway pricing
  page; usage rates are billed per second and shown here normalized to common
  units. Verify current values on the pricing page and in the @railway/pricing
  package during reconciliation.
