- Managed databases
- Not documented
- $15/month for Pro, which carries a production SLA. Scale is $350/month.

Who it suits.
Multi-tenant SaaS where every customer wants isolation — Nile makes a database per tenant the default shape rather than something you build on top of Postgres.

Several of the features on its own pricing table are marked Coming soon, including branching, backups and provisioned compute, so what is bought today is narrower than the table suggests.
