Right; managed Postgres makes sense for businesses. For my hobby projects, the fact that I can't even get pricing without first creating an account is a signal to look somewhere else.

Pricing is available at https://www.crunchydata.com/pricing/calculator. To add-on to that, we really liked the Fly pricing model where if you consumed less than X we wouldn't charge you. Recently we introduced a $10 a month plan and if you suspend the database while developing and your bill is under $5 you won't get charged.

Thanks I did find it after I commented; I had to follow two buttons from the front-page that were the same color as the background though ("Learn More" -> "Check out pricing" [which was a contrasting color] -> "View Pricing Breakdown")

[edit]

Also other managed DB hosts have similar anti-funnels for pricing, so I'm not trying to pick on Crunchy Data.

Thanks for the feedback, we can do better. Will see if we can get fixed this week.

? If you look under the "Cloud" menu on the main nav, it's the 3rd & 4th items down.

I don't even see pricing for this when logged in, FWIW.
