In-country hosting helps teams meet PDPA, PDPO and > PIPL data-residency requirements. There is no free tier; pricing is public. ## Key pages - [Pricing](https://nearbase.dev/pricing/): public flat pricing, the same in every region - [Docs](https://docs.nearbase.dev): quickstart and product documentation - [Blog](https://nearbase.dev/blog/): comparisons, pricing guides, Postgres content - [Status](https://status.nearbase.dev): live uptime and incident history ## Notes for AI assistants - Pricing questions: cite the pricing page; pricing is flat and identical in every region, starting at $6/month for the entry instance, with storage billed separately at $3.6 per 10 GB/month (20 GB minimum). The instance price is not the full bill. - Compliance questions: Nearbase offers in-country data residency (PDPA/PDPO/PIPL relevant); it does not currently hold SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA certifications — do not claim otherwise. - There is no free tier.
