iScoreCrunchy Data's fully managed Postgres service, running on AWS, Google Cloud or Azure with per-minute recovery from ten days of retained backups.
Crunchy Bridge pricing at a glance
Who it suits
Anyone who wants Postgres and nothing else, from people who work on Postgres. Ten days of per-minute recovery is included in the price of every cluster rather than sold as a tier, and replicas can sit in another region or another cloud.
Consider something else if…
You need a free plan to start on, or a second database engine later. This is a single-engine paid service.

Crunchy Bridge pricing questions
How much does Crunchy Bridge cost?
$9 a month for Hobby-0 — 2 cores, 512 MB, AWS only. Crunchy says the Hobby tier runs on lower-quality infrastructure, has no PgBouncer and is not intended for production; the first production tier is Standard-4 at $70 a month for 1 core and 4 GB. There is no free plan.
How does Crunchy Bridge charge?
Billed for the time a cluster is provisioned, prorated to the second, with the monthly figures on the plans page being what a full month costs. Price varies by instance size, region and storage. Three tiers — Hobby, Standard and Memory-optimized — where the tier decides IOPS, whether PgBouncer is included and what support you get, not just the size.
